At first, Santa Barbara Centre for Aerial Dance founder-director Ninette Paloma was none too pleased when she discovered that several of her planned guest artists for this weekend’s Floor To Air Festival had been saddled with visa issues and weren’t going to be able to arrive in time to participate in the high-flying show’s fifth […]

The idea is unique, at least in Santa Barbara, and we’ve not heard of such an event having been done elsewhere: Put 12 designers together, have each choose a piece of art from the Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s permanent collection, and then create a dining design to enhance the artist’s choice. All in the […]
Titled State of the Art Gallery Exhibition, the new public art installation of eight sculptural works on State Street officially opened on April 5 as part of the monthly First Thursday Art Walk.

What a perfect theme for the perfect place! That was the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) transformed into the White Star Line R.M.S. Titanic, the ship of dreams. As co-chairs David Bolton and Cindy Makela said, “Love Boat was too corny.” Titanic had drama. It took us back to April 15, 1912. The Titanic was […]
