KDA Calendar Exhibition & Party

Location: Architectural Foundation of SB Gallery
Date: November 10, 2024 from 1-3 p.m.

The Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara is pleased to announce the Kids Draw Architecture KDA Calendar Exhibition & Party, a reception held to recognize and celebrate the 2025 KDA calendar artists and their families.

The 2025 calendar drawings have been produced by artists ranging from 3 to 16 years old, and depict the beautiful and historic Santa Barbara Mission.

These original drawings will be on exhibition at the AFSB Gallery from November 10 – January 4, 2025. The 2025 KDA Calendars are available for purchase at the AFSB office, local bookstores Chaucer’s, Tecolote, and Book Den, and at the Santa Barbara Mission gift store, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum gift store, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art gift store., and the Santa Barbara Visitor’s Center.

The drawings will also be on display in January 2025 alongside the AIA Santa Barbara design awards Design Matters exhibition.

Kids Draw Architecture is a program developed by AFSB to enrich our community awareness of the built environment by encouraging children to sketch Santa Barbara’s architectural landmarks. KDA sketch sessions take place in spring and drawings are later chosen for the upcoming year’s calendar. The sketch sessions teach future generations about the art, complexity, and importance of architecture.

We thank our sponsors for their generous support.
