Activity Description
Step through the pages of Santa Barbara’s history and artistic heritage to discover why so many artists call this creatively vibrant city home.
Since the early 1900s, art has played a major role in defining Santa Barbara as a city. Whether it's tucked away in a winding paseo or hidden in plain sight in a busy shopping plaza, art can be found in the most surprising places – if you know where to look!
Our Everyday Art Walk focuses on unique artwork surrounding the urban area of Santa Barbara. We call it Everyday Art because you might walk past it everyday and never really notice it's there! Some of it is in plain sight… and well, some of it is located in the most unexpected and often overlooked places. Our walk is for the inquisitive and the culturally curious.
On this tour, you will:
- Immerse yourself in Santa Barbara’s rich culture and history as you explore an extraordinary array of art - from intricate mosiacs and murals that are dispersed throughout the city (some with over 200,000 tiles) to statues that are often mistaken for real people!
- Learn about the artists and inspiration behind the paintings, murals, mosaics, sculptures, and fountains interspersed throughout Santa Barbara’s historic buildings and walkways.
- Explore the lineage of art in Santa Barbara while gaining a unique understanding of the city’s artistic heritage.
Step beyond the ordinary with Santa Barbara Walking Tours and discover a new way to experience the city!
