Welcome to our out-of-town visitors! We curated this event with geographic proximity in mind so that you can see the maximum number of artists while minimizing your driving time. To help you plan your studio tour weekend, we wanted to give you an idea of the locations of the neighborhoods that make up Santa Barbara’s Uptown area. Each neighborhood features its own distinct character, charm, and concentration of local talent. The neighborhood descriptions (using borrowed real-estate speak), along with the map below, will hopefully orient yourself to the wider town, and help you plan your self-guided tour. Feel free to contact us with any questions.
