History
The Santa Barbara Arts and Crafts Show is a long standing tradition along the Santa Barbara waterfront. Established in 1965 by local artists and sponsored by the City of Santa Barbara’s Parks and Recreation Department since 1966, the show is now the only continuous, non-juried art festival of original drawings, paintings, graphics, sculpture, crafts, and photography in the world. The show is held along Cabrillo Blvd. every Sunday of the year and select Saturdays. All artwork sold is original art, created by the approximately 200 Santa Barbara County artists. Show members display their artwork in an informal atmosphere that encourages visitors to talk with the artists about their work, and in some cases even see them in action.
