Community Calendar

Mean Girls Jr. is a sharp, funny, and high-energy musical that explores the realities of friendship, identity, peer pressure, and growing up in today’s social world. While the production is filled with humor, heart, and memorable music, it also includes mature themes, strong language, and social situations that may be best suited for older audiences.

For this reason, we recommend this production for ages 13 and up. Parents and guardians are encouraged to use their own discretion based on the maturity level of their child.

Two Santa Barbara artists, Dane Goodman and Marie Schoeff, are being featured at Partners Gallery from May 7 to June 8.

Between Ordinary - Marie Schoeff
Schoeff’s monoprints on paper combine relief and drypoint techniques to create singular prints. Layering archetypal spherical shapes with raw linear marks offers a spectrum of interpretations. With Schoeff’s minimal use of elements, color speaks first, setting an ethereal tone.
Commoners – Dane Goodman
Goodman’s work often uses common materials, such as cereal bags, soap, and children’s art supplies, along with low-tech processes. He sees these overlooked materials as having creative potential and relatability. This approach lends itself to an inherent democratic sensibility in what he makes.

There is a Second Saturday Meet the Artists May 9th from 5-7 pm.

Hours are Thursday - Monday, 11 am to 4 pm
