Arts & Lectures

A Stage for Creativity and Thought

UCSB Arts & Lectures educates, entertains, and inspires audiences with over 200 events each year. From lectures to master classes to films to concerts, we bring talented performers from across the world to Santa Barbara, emboldening our community to live purposefully and celebrate life. Visiting artists interact with UC Santa Barbara students and K-12 students, both on-stage and in classrooms, and your support directly makes this possible.

Your gift to Arts & Lectures creates opportunities for learners of all ages to benefit from our award-winning education outreach program. If this vibrant cultural engagement is part of why you call Santa Barbara home, then please invest in your Arts & Lectures by giving today.
