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.

The deadline to apply is noon on Friday, September 16th, 2011. The selections will be reviewed by a small panel and announced by Friday, September 23rd. The opening will coincide with 1st Thursday, October 6th 2011. If you have any difficulties with the registration or application process, our webmaster is available for questions at webmaster@sbartscollaborative.org.

On behalf of the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative and all artists and arts lovers in Santa Barbara, we thank the Mayor once again for this opportunity!
