Community Calendar

This collaborative exhibition celebrates the intersection of art and environmental stewardship, highlighting the efforts of the Oak Group, the UCSB Cheadle Center for Biodiversity & Ecological Restoration, and Coal Oil Point Reserve to conserve the Devereux Slough.

Art in Service of the Land invites viewers to explore how art documents, interprets, and amplifies the ongoing work of conservation, revealing the beauty and complexity of the North Campus Open Space (NCOS) and inspiring engagement with our local environment.

This exhibition was curated and cosponsored by the Oak Group and the Cheadle Center for Biodiversity and Ecological Restoration, in collaboration with UCSB Library staff.

Exhibition runs from March 16 to June 26.

In recognition of Women’s History Month, join us to learn about the women who lived in the Rosa Butron de Canet de Simler adobe. Aside from the adobe’s namesake, Rosa Butron, both Waterman Village and the Mary Gail Black Neighborhood Park honor women as well. Who were these women, and what do we know about their lives and contributions?

Hear firsthand accounts, personal interactions, and recollections of the adobe’s last residents and those who came before, as well as the future of the site, featuring Lenore Erickson and Andy Pease alongside Smart Share staff.

This event will be held outdoors so dress for the weather. Parking is limited; carpooling encouraged.

Come and enjoy the work of a talented and special artist, Joe Milazzo. Milazzo's work borders on the reverent while expressing the humanity in western scenes. Your presence will help sustain the stories, spirit and legacy of the American West.

This class focuses on capturing light and its corresponding shadow, in a variety of settings. Not just sunsets and sunrises, but how it is filtered through ocean, forest and floral settings that results in a wonderful composition.

Though this workshop is introductory, all interested, regardless of experience, are encouraged to attend and will be accommodated. Each session takes place within a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. Greg Trombly, the instructor, will do a demonstration each day at the beginning of class and then work individually with each participant.

Class runs March 18th, 19th, and the 20th from 1 to 4 pm each day.

Literacy for Life trains community members to become tutors for adults whose second language is English and who want to improve their English language literacy skills. Our volunteers work one-on-one with learners, supporting them in developing their reading, writing, and speaking skills. We help each learner identify and achieve their personal literacy goals.

Our next tutor orientation/training will be held March 18 and 25.
