Santa Barbara Art Association – Members Only Spring Exhibition
Faulkner Gallery, Santa Barbara Public Library | March 2–29, 2026

The Santa Barbara Art Association presents a juried Members Only spring exhibition at the Faulkner Gallery, located within the Santa Barbara Public Library. This show brings together a dynamic cross-section of work by local artists.

The exhibition reflects the depth and diversity of SBAA’s creative community, featuring painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, mixed media, and more. With strong competition for inclusion, it offers visitors a compelling survey of contemporary art being created in and around Santa Barbara.

Whether you are a collector, a supporter of local arts, or simply curious, this exhibition is an opportunity to discover fresh talent and experience the energy of our region’s artistic community in one space.

Exhibition runs March 2–29, 2026.

The Santa Barbara Art Association is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) with a community of over 400 artists working across a wide range of media. You can find our members’ original artwork at local venues including Gallery 113, Building 1919 St Street Art Space, The Voice and the Faulkner Gallery at the Santa Barbara Public Library.

Founded more than 60 years ago, SBAA continues to welcome new artists through a juried membership process held twice a year. (See “How to Join” and “History” under the Information tab.)

The Santa Barbara Art Association (SBAA) remains committed to fostering the creative growth of local youth, staying true to its mission of nurturing the next generation of artists. This year, SBAA proudly donated $5,000 to the Visual Arts and Design Academy (VADA) to help provide art supplies for talented students discovering and developing their artistic voices.

“After visiting VADA and seeing the incredible creative environment, we knew this was the perfect way to support young artists,” shared Terry Wimmer, SBAA President.

SBAA looks forward to continuing this partnership and finding new opportunities each year to help young creatives thrive.
