We welcomed local artists Chris Potter, Kevin Gleason, Wyllis Heaton, Kurtis Ashley Hughes, Kit Boise-Cossart and Gil DiCicco to paint on-site at the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History for our Colors of Santa Barbara Art Show & Sale on October 20, 2011. Guests enjoyed live classical guitar, wine and food as they watched these talented artists at work. Fifty percent of proceeds from art sales were donated to the Mental Health Association.
We celebrated our 18th Annual Mental Health Arts Festival on October 1, 2011 at De La Guerra Plaza. This wonderful event helped showcase the many talented artists in the community who are living with mental illness. View the slideshow above to see images from the festival.
