Growing and Sustaining all forms of the arts
Funk Zone Maps/Art Zone
The Funk Zone is a unique Santa Barbara arts, culture, business, and industrial district between State Street and Garden Street, and Montecito Street to Cabrillo Boulevard. This amalgamation of historical marine structures, industrial lots, and houses has a unique history in manufacturing, lumber, citrus, produce, and fishing. Over the years, many artists have found creative freedom by carving out studio spaces in this “funky” area of Santa Barbara, and so have wineries, restaurants, art galleries, and shops.
Ready to Hang

A pop up show open to all local artists for creations 12 inches by 12 inches in size, Ready to Hang presents a unique opportunity to see new works by our entire community of artists in one show.
