Art teaches abstract thinking; it teaches teamwork; it teaches people to actually think about things they cannot see.
Your Support Is Essential in Maintaining Leading Edge Arts and Culture in Santa Barbara
It’s a popular misconception that UCSB Arts & Lectures is fully funded by the university, when the truth is that support from patrons and other individual donors is essential. There are myriad ways to contribute to the organization beyond purchasing tickets, from major endowments to event sponsorships to joining the Producers Circle.
“We definitely need help from the community to keep doing what we do,” Billeci says. “Without that support, this world class program and these educational offerings could not happen for the community.”
