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.

Platinum Sounds: The Symphony Turns 70
This platinum anniversary concert highlights The Symphony's brilliant principal players in Concerto Grosso, American composer Jonathan Leshnoff’s work, previously commissioned for our 60th. Violín soloist and multi-Grammy© nominee Philippe Quint brings his imaginative approach to Mendelssohn’s gorgeous Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64, one of the most prominent and highly regarded works in the concerto repertoire for violín, while Johannes Brahms’ monumental Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68 - which took the composer 21 years of revisions to declare ready for public performance in 1876 - will bring the evening - and our 70th Anniversary Subscription Season - to a triumphant close.
