The Architectural Foundation of Santa Barbara is pleased to present a conversation about how art reflects the ways in which we relate to the world today. This event features Santa Barbara artist and teacher, Cynthia Martin, in dialogue with Torrie Cutbirth, artist and Executive Director of The Arts Fund, and Charles Donelan, Executive Arts Director for the Santa Barbara Independent. Please join us for a provocative discussion on the intersections of realism, abstraction and pressing contemporary issues.
- Cynthia Martin’s current AFSB exhibition, The Passing Landscape, will close on July 11, 2019.
- Teacher/Indy Arts Editor Charles Donelan teaches English at Laguna Blanca School and been writing about the arts for The Independent for more than 15 years.
- Torrie Cutbirth is the Executive Director of The Arts Fund and an artist.
Cynthia Martin’s current show “The Passing Landscape” highlights Ms. Martin’s passionate concern for the fragility of the natural world. Born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, familiar California scenes and environmental disasters have always been her main source of inspiration. Her recent series “contains glittering stripes of deconstructed colors that refer to pathways, roads, contrails, channels, and other evidence of a population constantly on the go.”
