SANTA BARBARA, CA— From Saturday, September 28 to Sunday, October 13, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History will host its 6th Annual The Artist’s Table Art Show, a fundraiser for Museum education programs.

The collection spans plein-air, landscape, figurative, and still life paintings, with this year’s event uniquely introducing abstract artwork into the mix, broadening the artistic representation on display.

Waterhouse shares, “It is an honor to again curate The Artist’s Table to support the Museum’s education programs. This year is particularly special, as we introduce abstract works alongside the landscape paintings that capture the beautiful essence of our city and coast—a visual feast for all art lovers.”
The art show takes place in the Museum’s Courtyard Gallery and is included in paid Museum admission (Members are always free). Fifty percent of the proceeds from art sales will directly support the Museum’s mission to connect people with nature, particularly the thousands of schoolchildren served each year.
The exhibit closes this weekend on Sunday, October 13, so don’t miss the chance to take home a beautiful piece of artwork while supporting the Museum’s vital education programs.
