On the Road Again: Japan’s Tōkaidō in Prints and Paintings

The Tōkaidō, or Eastern Sea Road, was formed in the 17th century to link Japan’s old imperial capital, Kyoto, with the new warrior capital, Edo (modern Tokyo). Along the 320-mile route, 53 official post towns fed, lodged, and supplied travelers. By the mid-19th century, woodblock printed novels, guidebooks, and pictures made famous the road’s natural scenery—and real or imagined experiences.

This exhibition showcases a rare surviving set of the "Comic Picture Scroll of the 53 Stations of the Tōkaidō," painted in 1921 by eighteen "manga" (“comic pictures”) artists from the newly formed Tokyo Manga Association, along with selected woodblock prints by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797–1858), the greatest landscape print artist of the "ukiyo-e" (floating world picture) tradition who memorialized the great highway. Drawn from the Museum's permanent collection and augmented with loans from local collectors, the installation also includes three woodblock prints by the post-war artist Sekino Jun’ichirō (1914–1988) whose "Stations of the Tōkaidō" series, creatively echoed some of Hiroshige’s memorable images, a further testament to the legacy of Hiroshige and Japanese artists’ continued romance with this famed road.

This intimate exhibition was guest curated by Kendall H. Brown, Professor of Japanese Art History at California State University, Long Beach.

Solutions to Santa Barbara’s Affordable Housing Crisis the Subject of the July 10th Global Citizens Club Meeting

The World Business Academy’s Global Citizens Club is hosting a free panel discussion open to the public titled, “Housing Solutions for a Vibrant Santa Barbara.” The event takes place Wednesday, July 10 from 5-7 p.m. in the Riviera Ballroom of the Belmond El Encanto Hotel, 800 Alvarado Place in Santa Barbara. Included are a cash bar, passed appetizers and a Q & A Discussion.

Thursday Drop-In Workshops in “Chris Kallmyer: Ensemble”

Join Tina Villadolid & Ted Nash as they lead a workshop in "Chris Kallmyer: Ensemble." Visitors are invited to learn more about the exhibition and participate in hands-on music-making activities. All ages are welcome

"Ensemble" is a multi-media installation by artist Chris Kallmyer. Central to the exhibition is a specially fabricated, communal bell-ringing instrument that serves as a resource for communal activities.

Born in Los Angeles into a musical family (his father, Dick Nash, and uncle, the late Ted Nash, were both well-known jazz and studio musicians), Nash has that uncanny ability to mix freedom with substance, blues with intellect, and risk-taking with clarity. He is a co-founder of the New York-based Jazz Composers Collective, a musician-run, non-profit innovative entity dedicated to presenting the original works of composers pushing the boundaries of their self-expression. Nash is also a long-standing member of the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, with Wynton Marsalis.

Tina Villadolid is a Senior Teaching Artist and Coordinator of Community Outreach for the Santa Barbara Museum of Art in California, her students range in age from pre-school to adult. She has created several pieces of permanent, public art with her students in Santa Barbara and has worked with groups in NYC, the Philippines, and Kenya, using art as a form of visual storytelling to advocate for equity in education. In her own practice, Tina uses the human figure, language, and objects as universal metaphors to process her life.. Most recently she has been working in charcoal, investigating the human gaze.
