Education Programs
Integral to every exhibition supported
by the Women's Board is an education
component that enhances the experience
for visitors, with a particular emphasis
on outreach to families and youth. The
Museum provides art education programs
to over 40,000 people annually and is a
major provider of visual arts education
in the Santa Barbara public schools.

These ink on cloth landscape paintings, inspired by Bada Shanren’s work included in
The Artful Recluse: Painting, Poetry, and Politics in 17th-Century China, were created by 4th and 5th grade students.

The Women’s Board has also provided support to several Museum education programs, including Homework/Artwork After School, a program offered at some Santa Barbara elementary schools, and Art in Motion, a multiple-visit art program for homeless or at-risk children and their families in collaboration with Storyteller Children’s Center.
