Creativity, craft and entrepreneurship skills will be on full display at the Youth Interactive Holiday Bazaar happening Saturday December 9th from 1-4pm.

This year’s final showcase, a Holiday Bazaar, will feature fine art and hand-crafted wares made by the student artists themselves. Youth Interactive students work throughout each semester in five different groups which function as micro-businesses that they manage as a team. The creative groups are based on interests and skills and students collaborate to produce items and works of art. These works will be on display and for sale during this special one-day event.

In this lively afternoon discussion, hear the stories behind popular Funk Zone restaurant The Lark. Guests are owner Sherry Villanueva, whose dream inspired both the restaurant and book; Chef Jason Paluska, whose recipes delight both on the page and on our palate; and photographer Macduff Everton, whose soulful depictions of land, sea, and food bring the story to life. Everton’s work is also part of SBMA's permanent collection. More than a cookbook, this is a story of community:
“The cookbook is about the craftsmen who built the restaurant as well as the farmers, fishermen and ranchers who provide the products we prepare. We came to appreciate that this book wasn’t just about the development of a brick-and-mortar restaurant, but is a story about Santa Barbara itself, an exposé of the city’s multifaceted values.” —Sherry Villanueva

On Saturday, December 9th, Opera Santa Barbara invites you to bask in the candlelit glow of the historic Presidio Chapel as our Santa Barbara Youth Opera singers celebrate the holiday season with songs from around the world. 

Monthly Public Star Party at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History

6-8 pm
The Barrel Room
414 N. Salsipuedes St
Santa Barbara, CA 93103

Come watch The Brady Harris Band rock the Barrel Room while enjoying awesome Carr wines by the glass!

"Former frontman for the Replacements-inspired Solid Goldsteins, Brady Harris’ solo career has diverged from his previous work into a sound altogether more indicative of his Texas roots. Bearing considerable vocal resemblance to John Lennon, Harris crafts moody country-rock with a hard pop edge. Strongly melodic with a confident wit, he combines well-traveled themes with stoic romanticism. Having paid his dues as a starving artist, busking on the streets of Paris and London, Harris found himself in Los Angeles recording one album with his former bandmates before releasing his solo debut in 1997. That album, Next Door to Nowhere, received favorable reviews and was followed by considerable media attention at 1999’s NXNW music conference. 1999’s Good Luck Stranger was met with near unanimous critical approval, and Harris went on to tour Europe in late 2000. He spent the next two years touring the states where he racked up numerous awards, including $5,000 from the Pontiac Vibe Car Commercial Contest, which helped him finance 2003’s highly anticipated Lone Star."
