Hi all! I am Kelsey Hamilton, Recreation Coordinator for Active Adults for the City of Santa Barbara. I will be temporarily taking over social media posts for the Arts and Crafts Show while we adapt to working with a smaller staff. I hope everyone is staying safe and healthy. The show will continue to be temporarily suspended while we encourage show members and attendees to practice social distancing. We are monitoring the recommendations of the Governor and Santa Barbara Co...unty Public Health Department and intend to open the show as soon as the current orders are lifted. We encourage you to support your favorite artists by visiting our Member Directory at the link below.
