The Santa Barbara Printmakers will be exhibiting in the main gallery May 5-June 29 with a terrific selection of original hand pulled prints. Some of the printmaking techniques on exhibit will include monotype, woodcut, lino cuts and etching. Printmaking has a rich history, having been invented in China around 70 AD when paper was also invented. Without printmaking we would not have paper money!  

Linda Taylor will be exhibiting in the Fireside Room, with her interpretation of various printmaking techniques, including the mysterious and complicated reduction process.  

The reception for both exhibits is May 13th, 1:00 - 3:00 p.m.  

Peter Fox's work will be on display in the Front Showcase and Beato showcase throughout May and June. When asked to describe the exhibit he said “ Trunks of Oddities and various Eccentricities you'll never find on Amazon.

The Theatre Branch Presents:
Disappearing Act
May 5th - May 28th

Director Peter Fox leans into the action at rehearsal for his play Disappearing Act.  This spellbinding new play features Max Budroe, Emily Vallance, and Buddy Wilds, whose secrets are slowly, surprisingly, and magically revealed in Disappearing Act.
