14th Annual Santa Barbara Studio Artists Tour – 30 Studios to Tour from the Ocean to the Valley

Santa Barbara, CA, July 14, 2015 --(PR.com)-- Santa Barbara has always been both a refuge and an inspiration for artists from all over the world. The natural beauty drew famous artists such as Colin Campbell Cooper in the late 19th century, and has been drawing accomplished professionals ever since. According to the last census, Santa Barbara has the 5th largest population of artists in the country.

Santa Barbara Studio Artists is a nonprofit organization of visual artists who maintain working studios in Santa Barbara County but whose work shows mainly in other places. Our purpose is to introduce great local artists to a new audience and to increase public awareness of Santa Barbara as an important destination for art and culture.

In addition to good work, each participant has been selected for their exhibition and sales history, and for their interesting studio space. Work ranges from quintessential California landscape to cutting edge abstraction, photography, and sculpture. There are many exciting new artists on the tour this year, so people who like to come every year will have some surprises. One doesn't need to travel to New York or Santa Fe to discover a wealth of great art, you just have to know where to look.

Come to the Corridan Gallery to see one piece from each participating artist, choose the artists you most want to visit, and use the map provided to seek out varied locations from the hills of Montecito to downtown neighborhoods.
