West Mountain Drive Views

As dawn illuminates the Santa Barbara foothills, warm sunshine and birdsong greet a magical retreat...a private sanctuary where the stunning ocean views everywhere are eclipsed only by the pink hued mountains at sunset. This gathering place invites relaxation and repose. This 13.4+/-acre property offers 2 buildable parcels both with approved plans for new homes. Other amenities include a one-bedroom Spanish-Adobe second residence (approved for expansion), a swimming pool and horse paddocks. Sumptuous landscaping, exotic specimen trees and plants and emerald lawns add to the majesty.

Santa Barbara Empty Bowls Beneﬁtting Foodbank a Huge Success

�

��

Empty Bowls is an international effort to fight hunger, started in 1990. The first Empty Bowls of Santa Barbara in 1998 was initiated as a volunteer effort to increase the awareness of the pervasive levels of hunger in the community. Empty Bowls, benefitting Foodbank of Santa Barbara County, is one of Santa Barbara’s most popular fundraisers. For info visit www.emptybowlssantabarbara.com Foodbank of Santa Barbara County is celebrating 30 years of eliminating hunger and food insecurity by distributing nutritious food, education, and other resources through its own programs and to a network of 290 member non-profit agencies and programs in SB County. In 2011, the Foodbank distributed 11 million pounds of food - translating into more than 8.5 million meals - of which fully half was fresh produce. This served over 102,000 unduplicated people from Carpinteria to Santa Maria, an amazing 1 in 4 people. For info visit www.foodbanksbc.org

An opening reception for the exhibit, Dreamkeepers: Contemporary Australian Aboriginal Art, will take place Thursday, November 29th, from 4 to 6pm. Featured artists include: Minnie Pwerle, Gloria Petyarre, Walangkura Napanangka, Thomas Tjapaltjarri, Sarrita King, Tarisse King, Evelyn Pultara, Betty Mbitjana, Jeannie Petyarre, Ningura Napurrula, and others. For the last 30,000 years indigenous art has been created with natural media such as leaves, wood, rock, and sand. Carrying on this ancestral tradition, in the last 40 years painting on canvas has been incorporated into popular practice. Though the artists use contemporary materials in their creations, the abstractions rely on stories (dreamings) passed down Tingari Cycle by Thomas Tjapaltjarri. 47" x 35" through generations and draw inspiration from the vibrant colors of the Australian landscape.
