Call for Art: Vacant Window Beautification Program

Body

Calling all Santa Barbara County artists! The new Vacant Window Beautification Program will transform empty storefronts along State Street into vibrant displays of local creativity. By turning vacant windows into welcoming visual experiences, the program celebrates Santa Barbara’s artistic spirit for both the community and visitors. Selected artists will receive a $250 honorarium, and their names will be featured on the storefront installation. The submission deadline is Friday, September 5.

Launched by the Downtown Santa Barbara Improvement Association (DSBIA) in partnership with the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts & Culture, the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative, and Santa Barbara Signs, the program is part of DSBIA’s ongoing efforts to revitalize the downtown district by bringing together property owners, artists, and cultural partners to reimagine vacant spaces as opportunities for beauty and engagement.

Deadline to submit: 11:45 pm on September 5, 2025
