Declaring Your Independence: A Dharma Approach to Gaining Freedom.
Thursdays, July 5 & 12 from 7 to 9 PM

In conjunction with our exhibit, Project Fiesta, join the Museum for free screening of CASCARÓN. Meet three Mexican-American families who carry on the folk-art tradition of making cascarones (confetti eggs) for Fiesta. Cascarones are known to have been in Santa Barbara since at least the 1830s, and today prevail symbolically as a hand-crafted, unbroken cultural linkage connecting Santa Barbara to its colonial past.

The short documentary was directed by Chris Price & Casey McGarry.

As part of a two-week stay as SBMA artist in residence and during a four-day workshop, Grammy award winning musician and composer, Ted Nash shared insight and experience with a selection of local students and fellow musicians.

“Vacation, stay-cation, or no-cation, improv is sure to please everyone,” says Mueller. “Our aim is to make your summer the best one yet. And, as always, every show is a world premiere!”

Tickets are $10 and available online at www.thealcazar.org, at Laughing Buddha Thrift, 771 Linden Avenue in Carpinteria; at Murphy’s Vinyl Shack, 5285 Carpinteria Ave. in Carpinteria; and at the box office 30 minutes before the show.
