A holiday bazaar featured everyone from Santa Claus to an aerial performer Saturday at the Santa Barbara Center for Art, Science and Technology. The center is a co-living and coworking space for people to grow. It was designed and founded by Alan Macy, who believes that art and science are intertwined. “The center creates community. There has been something special during COVID, living here. It’s as if you have to go inside yourself to find newness,” spokesperson Cassandra Bates told the News-Press. The SBCAST bazaar featured artisanal booths, jewelry, a giving tree, vintage silver, bespoke clothing, high-tech heart chairs and glassware. And there was a drop-in by Santa and his elves. Ms. Bates told the News-Press how this bazaar stood out from similar holiday events, which tend to feature a myriad of vendors selling food, crafts, gifts and more.
