The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) is delighted to announce that it is hosting a series of  Sea Glass Sundays! this summer on the following Sundays: July 25, August 1, 8, 15, 22, & 29, 2021, from 10 am-5 pm on the museum’s patio overlooking the Harbor. Summer Glass Sundays! are free and open to the public. 

The Santa Barbara Sea Glass & Ocean Arts Festival, which usually occurs each year in September, has been cancelled for 2020 and 2021 and will not return until 2022; but the Sea Glass Festival organizers wanted to provide the community with the opportunity to purchase sea glass items before then! Summer Glass Sundays! will feature a variety  of handmade, ocean-themed art and authentic sea glass jewelry created by dozens of talented artists. 

Enjoy VSJ’s Sunday Live Music Series. Every Sunday from 1-4pm. your favorite local artists will be sharing their music. There are two ways enjoy 1) Make a reservation for their full tasting flight & Chef’s lunch menu on the patio, or 2)  indulge in bottle service & relax on the lawn, no reservations needed.

Join them in Edna Valley for an evening of wine, food, music & friends. Chef Joe White will be preparing a delicious meal you won't forget. Enjoy tapas to live music, then spend the evening savoring an incredible & classic style paella in an intimate setting under the stars. Only a limited number of seats are available, so this event will sell out quickly. Gather with friends, and buy your tickets today!

Artists' Statement— 

In Virginia’s own words:

“Painting, birding and teaching are passions of mine.  I have been immersed in studying birds and painting them for the last decade.  I have always thought I had around 18-20 species of birds on my property in Atascadero.  I have been doing a lot of yard birding during the last couple of months, and I am now up to 46 species!  So with this show, I am celebrating my outdoor journeys in discovering birds, and my continued friendships with my indoor pet companions—my 3 wonderful cats.”
