Upcoming Events:

Re-Generations
Multi-generational Group Exhibition
A Santa
Barbara Off-Axis 2008 Event

Reception: Saturday, October 25, 2008 6-9 p.m.

The A/B Gallery is open to the public the final weekend of Off-Axis with a group exhibition entitled, Re-Generations. This exhibition features five Santa Barbara-based artists who span three generations and work in a variety of media: Rebekah Altman, Tatiana Ginsberg, Diana Healey, Barbara Parmet and Barry Spacks.

The name of the exhibition refers not only to the wide age bracket represented in this exhibition, but also to art-making as creative "generation" and the potential for the process to be a regenerative force for the individual and the community alike.
