The bumper bash was emceed by the ubiquitous Geoff Green and showcased Chumash leaders Art Cisneros and Mia Lopez, and featured artist Benjamin Anderson who trained in Florence, Italy, and San Francisco’s Academy of Art University.
His work was selected by Converse for a national ad campaign as their All-Star artist.
The fun evening also featured Emmy Award-winning filmmakers Howard and Michele Hall with accounts of underwater explorations highlighting the Santa Barbara Channel’s interconnectivity of species.
Among the supporters were Ted Morton, Jeff Phillips, Hiroko Benko, Annie Lovell, Mimi deGruy, Nancy Kogevinas, Kathy Rogers, Judy Stapelmann, Trish Reynales, Susan Torrey, Ashish and Leslie Bhutani, and Rich Powell and Julie Ringler.
Clearly making a splash…
