Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative

The Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative (SBAC) is an inclusive group of artists and arts supporters committed to sustaining and growing all forms of the arts in Santa Barbara. SBAC welcomes all to participate in the focused support of individual artists and arts organizations that contribute to the unique cultural ecology of our community.All of our activities are collaborations between the SBAC and local artists, organizations, government entities, and individuals, or other sponsorships of small arts projects including fiscal sponsorships, mentorships and grants. We play a unique role in the community, using a combination of openness, collaboration, practicality, and the conservation of resources to help catalyze ideas multiple City and County Masterplans have called for for decades.
