First of all I’d like to send a HUGE thank you to the 1,000 + artists, friends, family, and art lovers that came to the opening of our summer exhibitions earlier this month. The team and I are so happy that visitors have been enjoying the exhibits and are seeing what the amazing artists of Santa Barbara have to offer.
But having us exhibit the artwork is only a portion of how we support our local artists. Like last year, many artists have put their artwork up for sale and every time someone purchases an artwork not only do they help the artist but also the museum! So even if you’re someone barely starting out as an art collector, are a seasoned collector, or just want to buy art because you’re cool like that, we encourage you to come in and purchase an artwork. I mean who wouldn’t want an artwork from an exhibit that got an amazing review from Josef Woodard over at the Santa Barbara Independent. ?
“This is a democratic, all are welcome, cross-section of art being made in our pueblo, and the result is fascinating, on various levels.” Josef Woodard
That’s a pretty cool review if I do say so myself.
