One Night Stand Art Event
Saturday August 11, 2012
06:30 PM

For the second year in a row, on the evening of August 11, 2012, Santa
Barbara’s Art from Scrap offers art lovers, collectors, and artists an
exciting opportunity to participate in a One Night Stand at Brooks Institute
of Photography’s Gallery 27 in downtown Santa Barbara. One Night
Stand (ONS) is an art lover’s dream and an annual fundraiser for Art from
Scrap at which, for one night only, more than 200 nine-by-nine-inch works
of art will be exhibited for purchase. Last year’s sold-out event attracted in
excess of 400 patrons and artists, many of whom purchased original
artwork, raising $40,000 to support Art from Scrap’s mission of
environmental education and creative art programming. This year’s
incarnation of the ONS benefit is also in support of Art from Scrap, which
is a program of Explore Ecology, a leading environmental education and
art organization, now in its 21st year of encouraging creative expression
in the arts and promoting a greater understanding of environmental
issues.

Contemporary artists from around the country have been personally
invited to contribute artwork in all mediums. The list of artists who have
accepted the ONS challenge grows daily. Architect Barry Berkus;
actor/musician Jeff Bridges; singer/songwriter Jack Johnson; local art
legends Joe Shea, Brad Nack, and John Iwerks; environmental artist
Laura Lynch; painter John Nava; and many more have already
contributed their work for what promises to be the art event of the year. To
that end, ONS 2012 will be held in an expanded area of Gallery 27 at
Brooks Institute at 27 East Cota Street.

Tickets are available online, onsite at Art from Scrap (302 East Cota
Street), or by calling (805) 884-0459 x17. General Entry (7 p.m.) is $25
advanced purchase or $30 at the door. Early Entry (6:30 p.m.) tickets are
