FISHING FOR THE FUTURE: Santa Barbara Sea Glass & Ocean Arts Festival announces a silent auction on Instagram to Benefit the San
The Santa Barbara Sea Glass & Ocean Arts Festival (SBSGOAF) is having an Instagram silent auction from October 11-18, with 100% of the proceeds going to @sbmaritimemuseum. The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum has been closed for the duration of the pandemic and may not be able to reopen until the end of the year. We wanted to help them out, and we are hoping you will support our efforts. 12 amazing professional artists are transforming wood fish into beautiful original art for you to bid on!
Hookman by Lauren Yee
Hookman by Lauren Yee
Directed & adapted by Michael Bernard
An early play by a rising contemporary playwright, Hookman has been described by some as a “slasher comedy.” Sometimes mysterious, often hilarious, Hookman is a biting story of teen angst and loss.

Art Exhibition: Metagraphs by Sol Hill
Silo118 and Santa Barbara artist Sol Hill present an exhibition of camera-based work called Metagraphs.
Out of Storage and into the Light: Sculptures That Tell Stories
This is the first exhibition organized by the Santa Barbara Museum of Art devoted exclusively to the specific artistic medium of sculpture. The presentation features over 50 objects from the permanent collection, many of which have yet to be exhibited. The selected works of art reveal the impressive historical and geographical breadth of the permanent collection, including Pre-Columbian, Ancient Egyptian, Ancient Greek & Roman, 11th- to 17th-century Southeast Asian, Ancient to 13th-century Chinese, 19th-century African, and 19th- to 21st-century French, English, and American sculpture. An unorthodox juxtaposition of works from such a diverse array of cultures allows for a more global interpretive approach to these works of art. Because the installation is organized thematically (Dance and Music; The Human-Animal; Flight; The Head; The Body), rather than by culture or time period, the unexpected visual proximity of such an eclectic variety of art provokes unexpected trains of thought. This show is guest curated by Gülru Cakmak, Associate Professor of 19th-century European Art at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, at the invitation of Deputy Director and Chief Curator Eik Kahng.

Bamboo, Rocks, and Old Trees: Chinese Calligraphy and Literati Painting
An 11th-century Chinese painting, "Old Tree, Rock, and Bamboo," recently appeared on public view, and is widely regarded as the only surviving painting by Su Shi (1037–1101), one of the greatest names in Chinese cultural history. A statesman, scholar, poet, writer, calligrapher, and painter, Shu Shi is considered the fountainhead of the so-called “literati” painting tradition that came to dominate much of later Chinese art. This exhibition celebrates the ideals of literati painting as first formulated by Su Shi and his circle of friends, and further developed by succeeding generations of artists and calligraphers. The exhibition includes 12 paintings and calligraphy from the 17th through 19th centuries from the Museum’s permanent collection, supplemented with private loans.

Recovery and Demise of Marine Protected Areas in the Channel Islands: Lecture by Dirk Rosen
Recovery and Demise of Marine Protected Areas in the Channel Islands: Lecture by Dirk Rosen
Santa Barbara and the Channel Islands pioneered the implementation of networked Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in 2003. This bold California conservation mandate eventually resulted in creation of the 124 networked reserves we have statewide today, the largest such network. Marine Applied Research & Exploration (MARE), a non-profit, was formed to fill the knowledge gap in deep-sea ecosystems through deployment of remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). This presentation will discuss the collaborative work of the Channel Island National Marine Sanctuary, Department of Fish and Game and MARE, deploying ROVs inside and outside MPAs to document change over time to fish and invertebrate populations.
