You Can Make a Difference

Join Arts & Lectures Donor Circles Today!

Since our first season in 1958, Arts & Lectures has made a unique contribution to the cultural life of California’s Central Coast. By presenting an exceptional selection of world-class performing artists, international cinema, distinctive lectures and writer’s reading, we have entertained and enriched generations of students and community members. Through educational endeavors, commissioning of new works, youth outreach programs, artist residencies and other collaborative projects, Arts & Lectures remains committed to artistic excellence and innovation. Few other presenting programs in California—or even in the country—approach this breadth of activity. And, we need your support to carry on and grow.

Therefore was ask that you select your level of membership from the options below. Your investment helps Arts & Lectures preserve the exceptional quality of our programming and fulfill our role as a leader in arts presenting and educational outreach throughout Santa Barbara County.

We look forward to welcoming you to our family of patrons and are grateful for support at any level. Just add a tax-deductible contribution to your ticket order and get ready for an exciting season ahead! Thank you!
