Our Guest Curator Program offers opportunities for community members to develop their professional gallery experience by presenting thought-provoking and exciting exhibitions. Both aspiring and established curators of Santa Barbara County are invited to apply.

Exhibition proposals will be evaluated by The Arts Fund Gallery Committee and selected based on the following criteria:

  • Providing an opportunity for local artists to expand their professional exhibition experience and enrich the cultural platform in Santa Barbara
  • Collaborating with a minimum of 4 local artists and/or community organizations to offer inclusion of the public and create a synergistic forum for the advancement of the arts
  • Offering educational opportunities for the community to better understand local art, artists, or artistic processes
