SANTA BARBARA — The Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s “Art Matters Lecture” explores “The Past, Future, and Present of the Clyfford Still Museum” at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 5.
The event features a lecture with Joyce Tsai, Director, Clyfford Still Museum.
The American Abstract Expressionist artist, Clyfford Still, held on to 93% of everything he ever made and willed this extraordinary corpus, not to an existing art museum or gallery, to an unnamed American city. In so doing, he invests his art with civic potential. Joyce Tsai, Director of the Clyfford Still Museum, will illuminate the ways her institution seeks to fulfill that ambition.
Location: SBMA’s Mary Craig Auditorium, 1130 State Street, Santa Barbara
