LUTAH explores the life of a little known architect who left a big legacy. She designed iconic buildings such as the Lobero Theatre, Vedanta Temple, and the Botanic Garden and was integral to rebuilding a damaged Santa Barbara after the 1925 earthquake. Lutah designed exquisite homes in many styles for some of Santa Barbara’s greatest philanthropists and spent hundreds of volunteer hours laying the foundation for the Santa Barbara Landmarks Commission. She did all of this as an independent woman at the turn of the 20th century.

This is the untold story of Lutah Maria Riggs.

Lutah navigated her way through the male-centric world of architecture and brought a fresh take to the established architectural styles of Southern California. From Spanish Colonial Revival to Art Deco, to Modernist and back to Traditionalism, Riggs mastered the art of experimentation. Her attention to detail, use of new materials, environmental concerns, and love of the natural landscape brought a unique and specific quality to her work. As one of her contemporaries said, “With Lutah, there was no such thing as impossible; it just took a little bit longer.”

For 60 years Lutah blazed a trail for architects and women, relying on the courage of her convictions and a hint of eccentricity. In a time when most women’s highest expectation was marriage Riggs pursued her passion and created a life of independence, an exceptional choice for a woman at that time. In addition to her buildings, Lutah also left a legacy: She was a self-made woman who boldly overcame barrier after barrier.

LUTAH offers never before seen photos and journal entries from Riggs’ personal collection, and candid interviews reveal the woman behind the drafting table. With stunning footage of some of Santa Barbara’s most iconic structures and a rare glimpse of private homes, LUTAH sheds light on true Santa Barbara treasures.

Exhibit/MCC Lounge: Mon, Jan 6th
Reception/MCC Lounge: Tues, Jan 7th, 6 PM

Ann Le has always dealt with identity, culture, family history, and the duality of becoming Vietnamese-American in her work. As layers of images are stacked upon one another, Le travels through time commenting on the idea of home, displacement, separation, and how we embrace and conquer loss. Tragic and Poetic composites are pieced together to unravel narratives which places her Vietnamese-American perspective into a contemporary landscape.

This exhibit will run from January 6th until the end of the quarter. The reception will be held Tuesday, January 7th, at 6 PM in the MCC Lounge.
