Enriching Program at Santa Barbara’s Doorstep
Arts & Lectures brings our community, the University, and its students an incredible array of artistic offerings that are unequaled in any other community of our size in this country. We are incredibly fortunate to have such a varied and stellar program right here on our doorsteps!
Help Support and Power the Arts
Making this breadth of programming possible depends on philanthropy. “The educational programs are all free,” Bush says. “We couldn’t do them without support from the community.” Gifts beginning at $100 make donors members of A&L’s Circle of Friends, while gifts beginning at $2,500 offer additional benefits, including preferred seating and invitations to special events with visiting artists. Support at every level helps sustain both the public season and the education and community programs that extend its reach.
