Since March of 2020, we have been challenged and reshaped -- as a community and individuals -- by our experiences living through the COVID-19 pandemic and renewal of abolitionist and anti-racist activist movements. Amidst the shift to remote learning and working, UCSB Library’s Special Research Collections initiated two ongoing projects: the Santa Barbara Black Lives Matter Community Archives and the COVID-19 Community Archives.
The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum is pleased to announce the long-awaited re-opening of the exhibit, Mermaids: Visualizing the Myths and Legends through Photography, 16 images printed on canvas by Ralph Clevenger and friends.

There will also be mermaid photo opportunities at the museum by appointment on Saturday, November 13, 2021, from 11:30am-12:30pm and 1-2pm, $10 for museum members and $30 for non-members.

Braille Institute is a non-profit organization whose mission is to positively transform the lives of those with vision loss. We offer a broad range of free programs, classes and services serving thousands of students of all ages helping to demonstrate that vision rehabilitation is a beginning, not an end.
We serve the community from seven centers, and hundreds of community outreach locations throughout Southern California, and lead popular national programs like Braille Challenge and Cane Quest. Our staff and volunteers understand losing your vision can be scary, but we believe it is not the end of independence, but a new way of living.
A variety of free classes, workshops and support groups are available to help you or a loved one stay active, remain independent and enjoy connections with others.
Sign up for individual events, workshops and seminars – free and open to everyone. Register online or call our Educational Programs Manager, Tracy Alfino, at (805) 898-8312 Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm.

Exclusive winemaker event with vineyard walk, barrel tasting and catered lunch featuring wine sampling with Buttonwood Farm Winery winemaker Karen Steinwachs and wood-fired pizza from Fire & Wine. Inside Wine Santa Barbara hosts.
Inside Wine – Santa Barbara at Buttonwood Farm, Winery & Vineyard December 18, 2021 11:30 AM
After a long break due to COVID 19, let's celebrate our quest for wine education and fun, social wine events with a holiday party at Buttonwood Winery! Winemaker Karen Steinwachs will lead us through a tasting of her wines--including barrel sampling.
Barrel tasting is an experience every wine aficionado should have at least once. Tasting a wine in the process of developing and comparing it to finished wine informs one's palate and increases comprehension of the stages wine goes through from grape to glass.
Our barrel room experience will culminate with the delicious handmade pizza and salads from Fire & Wine Catering.
Please join us if you are 21 years old+ and are fully vaccinated. Cost $30--sign up and pay via Paypal at https://www.meetup.com/Inside-Wine-Santa-Barbara/
More details to follow on our wine tasting and lunch. Looking forward to seeing you!
