Call for Storefront Art Submissions
The Downtown Organization of Santa Barbara invites local artists and non-profits organizations to submit artwork and ideas to be displayed in vacant downtown storefronts.
A community panel will select from the submissions and installation will begin in August.
The goal of the project is to highlight the contributions of our vibrant local arts community and enhance the experience of visiting downtown with visually enticing pop-up window art installations. We also hope to draw attention to the available spaces and attract new businesses to our downtown corridor.
