At the beginning of the year Mayor Helene Schneider invited the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative to help select the art that would decorate the walls of her office. At the time, we decided we’d rotate the art every three months and that time is upon us.

For this third round, we have chosen to help celebrate the month long Epicure SB festival, and will focus on the theme of Food and Dining. Space is limited so most selections will need to be hanging work no larger than 30 inches tall by 40 inches wide INCLUDING THE FRAME. If you would like to be considered for this opportunity, please fill out the simple application and submit up to three digital examples of your work through the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative website. The application is available by clicking HERE . You must be registered and logged in to apply. » Continue Reading
