Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara — MCASB’s Upcoming [virtual] Events & Community Happenings

What role does vulnerability play in creative and artistic practice? How can we embrace, and be empowered by, the anxieties we face as creative beings? What tools can we utilize to move through imposter syndrome? A conversation with multi-media artists Lucy, Katharina Stenbeck, and Mahsa Zargaran will aim to address the anxiety that accompanies the vulnerability of creativity.  Register>
