ART EXHIBIT

In collaboration with Santa Barbara Records and Santa Barbara Airport, we created an installation designed to share the magic of the Central California Coast with travelers from around the world.

Newsletter titled "City News in Brief" from January 18, 2022, featuring an article about an art exhibit at the airport by photographer Alan Lucchetti, a photo of birds by the sea, and information about Santa Barbara community services.
Santa Barbara Airport Facebook post promoting a temporary art exhibit featuring photographer Alan Lucchetti, with several landscape photographs displayed on a wall. The exhibit is held on the first floor near the main rotunda of the airport.

Santa Barbara Records is committed to building a truly unique platform that empowers local musicians, artists, and communities through sustainable, ethical practices. Their inspiring approach and core values have deeply resonated with me.
