Warm thanks to the Santa Barbara Bowl Foundation’s Arts Education Outreach Program for assisting Arts & Lectures to provide educational outreach by touring artists for Santa Barbara schoolchildren.
The Santa Barbara Dance Alliance, led by the indefatigable Julie McLeod, makes it possible for our artists to teach master dance classes for community members of all ages.
Arts & Lectures thanks Ellen and Robert Raede for generously supporting educational outreach to jazz students in our community.
We are grateful to the Offices of UCSB’s Executive Vice Chancellor and Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs for supporting educational outreach to UCSB students.
