Free 2nd Sunday for Tri-County Residents

Enjoy Free Admission every second Sunday of the month for Tri-County residents (Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Luis Obispo). Join us during Free 2nd Sundays for stunning exhibitions, enriching programs, and a welcoming museum experience.

Studio Sunday

12 – 4 pm

Visitors of all ages are invited to participate in this hands-on informal workshop with SBMA Teaching Artists. Each month explore a different medium—clay, metal, ink, wood, photography, paper—inspired by works of art in the Museum’s collection or special exhibitions.

Bilingual Storytelling

Raíces y sueños: In Partnership with the Santa Barbara Public Library

11 – 11:45 am

Enjoy a morning of art and storytime focused on developing your child’s literacy skills through action rhymes and short stories in both English and Spanish. Your child will practice language, social, and motor skills, while you get the chance to connect with other caregivers. Enjoy the beauty of art and make new friends in this engaging and educational event.

This project was made possible with support from California Humanities, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities. Visit www.calhum.org.

Afterwards enjoy a 20-minute bilingual family tour focusing on three works of art or visit the Family Resource Center for art making.

Mark your calendars and bring your family and friends to explore art and creativity together!
