Shaping the Reel - Two Women Directors Share Their Journeys is presented by AWC-SB, the Association for Women in Communications, Santa Barbara.

Women directors make up only a small portion of filmmakers today. What's it like to be part of that elite cohort? Arlene Sanford, an award-winning veteran director of TV series and feature films, and Dale Stamos, whose work has focused on shorter indie projects, talk about their careers. How did they get to do what they do? They take us behind the scenes as they share their trailblazing journeys-successes and challenges-and offer some perspectives for would-be filmmakers.

Wednesday, November 8
5:30 p.m. at WorkZones

Members: FREE, Non-members: $25

New Exhibit: California Missions by Edwin Deakin
October 5, 2023 – February 18, 2024


The California mission system left behind an architectural legacy, which artist Edwin Deakin began to document in the 1890s. By that time, several of the missions were in a state of disrepair and decay and there was growing alarm that California would lose these architectural monuments of its past. Deakin captured the missions in two sets of oils and one in watercolor, often traveling by wagon to make surveys on site. The result is an unparalleled artistic record and Deakin’s outstanding achievement.

In partnership with the Santa Bárbara Mission Archive-Library we present his twenty-one oils from their collection alongside the watercolors from ours, for the first time. Both collections have been carefully preserved for future generations.
