The Oak Group Presents – Art is Restoration
Benefiting UC Santa Barbara North Campus Open Space
“The idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented… into something whole”
Louise Bourgeois
Continuing their 38-year tradition of calling attention to and supporting the preservation of open spaces in the natural world through their artwork, the Oak Group members are proud to hold their 2024 art show benefiting the UC Santa Barbara North Campus Open Space.
North Campus Open Space is an extensive restoration of the upper arms of Devereux Slough, which represents an unprecedented turning back of the clock for over 100 acres of historic wetlands and native habitats. The site is managed by UC Santa Barbara’s Cheadle Center for Biodiversity & Ecological Restoration and reflects a 10% increase in the total acreage of coastal wetlands along the Santa Barbara south coast. With its popular public trail system and affiliation with UC Santa Barbara, it is a celebrated community amenity and a living laboratory that provides expanding opportunities for research that help us better understand the positive impacts of restoring native habitats, their endemic species, and the effect of climate change on their ability, and ours, to thrive into the future.
The show will be held at the Santa Barbara Central Library’s newly renovated Faulkner Gallery at 40 East Anapamu Street in downtown Santa Barbara and will run from October 2nd through October 31st, open Monday – Thursday 10am – 7pm, Friday – Saturday 10am – 5pm, Sunday 12am – 5pm. A reception with the artists will be held in the Faulkner Gallery on Thursday (October 3rd), from 5:30pm – 7:30pm.
The show will also be viewable online October 2nd through November 30th at www.oakgroup.org and www.ncos.ccber.ucsb.edu
