MCASB Welcomes a New Era with ‘The New Art Salon: Arte del Pueblo!’

Following an open call to the community, more than 150 artists answered the call for the Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara’s (MCASB) current exhibition, The New Art Salon: Arte del Pueblo! The astounding variety of work is on view at the Museum upstairs at Paseo Nuevo through July 28, and our photographer Ingrid Bostrom (also a proud MCASB Board Member) was on hand to photograph last weekend’s opening party fun, which also marked the debut of the organization’s new Co-Executive Directors: Dalia Garcia (who’s been working with MCASB and was promoted), and Fabián Leyva-Barragán, who was previously working with Charlie Wylie at Santa Barbara Museum of Art in photo and new media.
