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.

The January session is led by local poet and UC Santa Barbara professor Rick Benjamin.

Join us for Central Coast Start-Ups this month and help create a nexus for the start-up community in Santa Barbara. Kiva has such a rich wealth of knowledge and wisdom within the start-up community, and the hope is that Kiva Cowork can be a house for a start-up ecosystem where leaders can pitch ideas and help one another. Join us for some appetizers, enlightening conversations, and quality time networking.

Longtime Kiva member, Jade Flogerzi from Clever Punch will be sharing marketing and branding secrets that every start up business should know.

Event will take place at Kiva Cowork Funk Zone, 10 E Yanonali St. from 6-7:30pm.

Lobero LIVE presents An Evening with Los Lobos – “Amplified Los Lobos” on Friday, January 20, 2023 at 7:30 PM. Los Lobos has sold millions of records, won prestigious awards and made fans around the world. But perhaps its most lasting impact will be how well its music embodies the idea of America as a cultural melting pot. In it, styles like son jarocho, norteño, Tejano, folk, country, doo-wop, soul, R&B, rock ’n’ roll and punk all come together to create a new sound that’s greater than the sum of its parts.
