The Impressionist Revolution
Santa Barbara Museum of Art is proud to announce that it will be the only western US venue of a global tour of The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse, with SB joining Dallas and Mexico City as world cultural centers. Join SMBA at the exciting opening.
The Impressionist Revolution: Monet to Matisse from the Dallas Museum of Art is a blockbuster exhibition of masterpieces of all of our favorite artists: Monet, van Gogh, Sisley, Renoir, Mondrian and more.
A companion exhibition, Encore: 19th-Century French Art from SBMA, is astounding in presenting the world- class art works from the collection, including four Monet paintings which have been gifted to the Museum, and will all be on view simultaneously for the first time.
Join SMBA at the exciting opening celebration on Saturday, 10/4 starting at 5:30pm for The First Impression – Paris at Night party with champagne, hors d’ouvres, music, and more. Tickets $1000 per person with proceeds supporting the Museum exhibition program.
The public opening will follow the next day on Sunday, October 5 (members preview that day 10-12 noon).
