OPENING RECEPTION

Join us in the Community Gallery on November 16th for the opening of Cut And Paste: Collage in Santa Barbara, curated by Dug Uyesaka.

Collage, derived from the French word “coller”, to glue; is the joining of paper and other found objects onto paper, canvas or wood. Curated by artist and educator Dug Uyesaka, Cut and Paste – Collage in Santa Barbara is a broad survey of the art form and how it came alive with the influence of local artist William Dole (1917 – 1983). An internationally recognized collagist, Dole, was an educator, mentor and inspiration for many artists from the 1940s to the present. William Dole married bits of paper, handmade pigments and text in lyrical, gracefully crafted images based on the mysteries of the observed and contemplated world around him. This exhibition shows a wide range of local artists who utilize collage as one of their main modes of creative expression. They run the gamut of the traditional joining of paper to paper to the digital and alternative techniques illustrating the extent and breadth of the medium.

Eyes of Another asks contemporary artists in SB to take us on a journey of discovery as they paint what is real to them and what they see and feel. This show allows us to reinterpret SB’s scene by allowing us to see with New Eyes that which we have seen a hundred times, but maybe have walked on by. Check out this exhibit to see if our featured artists helped you see Santa Barbara in a new way!
