A family of professional fine artists is something different. A family of professional fine artists who have all have returned to their roots and now live in Santa Barbara, that’s unique. That same family starting a fresh new contemporary art gallery that has grown out of meaning, not money, that’s extraordinary.
On Saturday, May 16th from 5pm until 9pm you can experience the art and the vibe of the Anderson family artists Ron, Benjamin and Sean as they launch the Anderson Art Collective with a collaborative show that benefits “The Haven” a non-profit school for under-privileged children in the township of St. Francis, South Africa. The new gallery is located at 410 Palm Avenue in Carpinteria, in the old Henry Fish Seed Company building at the entrance to Carpinteria State Beach.
“Our gallery will focus mainly on the family’s diverse offering of fine art paintings and mixed media creations but will also host invitational shows. Each show will donate 5% of sales to a chosen non-profit organization. The gallery is open only three days a week, Friday/Saturday/Sunday from 1pm to 6pm and by appointment though we have a variety of events and activities that will be held in the space as well. This will be an interactive location, alive with things happening, different from the rather aloof contemporary gallery template,” according to Susie Anderson, who co-directs the gallery with her daughter-in-law, Leigh-Anne.
“We have an interactive aspect to this first show and we’re asking guests to bring an object no bigger than their hand to contribute to the creation,” notes Leigh-Anne. “We invite art lovers to come, be part of the show and perhaps take an evening stroll along the beach.”
