Santa Barbara, CA – The Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association (DSBIA) invites the community to a celebration on Thursday, March 5th, at 5:00 pm marking the official debut of the Downtown Window Beautification Program.
The purpose of the program is to transform vacant storefront windows into vibrant works of art, while helping present prospective spaces as active, visible, and ready for new business opportunities. To bring this project to life, Santa Barbara County-based artists were invited to apply and submit their work for consideration. Following a selection process, the chosen artworks have been custom-formatted and printed on window film to fit unique storefront dimensions. These installations are now officially in place and ready for the public to enjoy with more to be installed over time. The effort is a result of a collaborative partnership between DSBIA, the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts & Culture, Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative, Historic Landmark Commission, SB Signs, PIP Printing, and Graphic Designer Irene Ramirez.
