Santa Barbara’s Art Community
I haven’t been to Santa Barbara for quite awhile, despite some urging from friends who have recently moved there. They keep telling me how much the area has grown and changed, yet the city hasn’t turned its back on its origins as a quirky art community.
Located a couple hours north of Los Angeles, between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara is an easy day trip from the area. Home to a thriving art community and the artists who support it, the galleries, studios, museums and art events feature both world-renowned and emerging artists.
Santa Barbara is an easy weekend trip from Seattle, and with a little help from information provided by the Santa Barbara Visual Arts, I’ll be able to time my visit to coincide with some events that interest me. Nice weather, cool art, a little shopping, and a hip community. Perfect for a weekend trip.
If you’re planning a visit to the area, or are fortunate to live in the area, check out the events listing and take advantage of what the area has to offer.
