Don’t Be So Serious: In Conversation with Seth Bogart

Seth Bogart is an artist of many trades: pop ceramicist, punk frontman, and owner and designer of Wacky Wacko streetwear. In conversation with "WARES!" curator Lauren Karazija, Bogart will discuss his distinctively playful and irreverent practice in the production of art, music, and clothing.

The artist’s work will be featured in the SBMA exhibition "WARES! Extraordinary Ceramics and the Ordinary Home" from June 18th through September 17th.

Writing in the Galleries

Writers of all levels are invited to participate in this informal exploration of the Museum’s galleries as an impetus to writing. Monthly sessions are led by a visiting writer who begins with a conversation and prompt, partially inspired by works on view. Participants write on their own, then reconvene to share and comment on each other’s work. Please bring something on which to write. 

This special summer session in "The Private Universe of James Castle: Drawings from the William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation and James Castle Collection and Archive" is led by local poet and UC Santa Barbara professor Rick Benjamin.
