The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is delighted to announce that Arthur Beaumont: Art of the Sea--an exhibit of 53 paintings chronicling the accomplishments of the US Navy, from the USS Constitution to atomic bomb tests and expeditions to the North and South Poles—will be at the Museum for just six months, the last show on the West Coast before it leaves for the East Coast. Beaumont used Impressionist techniques in painting the stunning images in this exhibit and in capturing the majesty of the oceans and the vessels that sail them.

Braille Institute is a non-profit organization whose mission is to positively transform the lives of those with vision loss. We offer a broad range of free programs, classes and services serving thousands of students of all ages helping to demonstrate that vision rehabilitation is a beginning, not an end.

We serve the community from seven centers, and hundreds of community outreach locations throughout Southern California, and lead popular national programs like Braille Challenge and Cane Quest. Our staff and volunteers understand losing your vision can be scary, but we believe it is not the end of independence, but a new way of living.

A variety of free classes, workshops and support groups are available to help you or a loved one stay active, remain independent and enjoy connections with others.

Sign up for individual events, workshops and seminars – free and open to everyone. Register online or call 1-800-BRAILLE (272-4553) Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm.

Normally, EDC holds our largest fundraiser of the year outside in the beautiful gardens of Rancho La Patera & Stow House in Goleta, but in 2020 due to COVID-19, we mixed it up! And boy was it fun. We are looking forward to another exciting Green & Blue with you joining us from the comfort of your home. We will have a silent auction packed full of unique items, an exciting live auction, and a short program to celebrate all we have accomplished together. And let’s not forget the delicious food by Duo Catering along with local wine and beer available at certain sponsor levels. This year we are excited to honor Carmen Ramirez, Ventura County Supervisor, as our Environmental Hero, along with professor Leah Stokes and young poet Nicola Bailey as our special guests.
