Our purpose is to increase the audience for individual artists and to promote awareness of Santa Barbara as an art destination. By doing so we aim to have a positive influence on the incomes and reputations of the many artists who have chosen to live here.

Santa Barbara Studio Artists is a not-for-profit trade organization of professionals who maintain working studios in Santa Barbara. Members are selected for the quality of their work and exhibition history. Most of our artists have gravitated to Santa Barbara from all over the United States and abroad as well as from many different schools because they find it a congenial and inspiring environment in which to conduct their business.
