This has always been a wonderful show in Santa Barbara. The printmakers group has a 100 members using all forms of the medium. It makes for a visual feast.

Lastly, the annual Small Images exhibition, a local favorite, opens Friday, October 2nd from 5-7pm at Santa Barbara City College's Atkinson Gallery. This show is a long time tradition in Santa Barbara and the few spaces in the gallery are highly sought after by the local artists. I have had the great good fortune to be accepted on many occasions and find it to be one of the most exciting shows in town.

Hope to see everyone around the galleries this weekend.
