A couple of weeks ago, I went to a show in downtown Goleta that some friends of mine put on to raise money for a charity / cause that they have been passionate about as of recent. The show was entitled "Save Naples". Naples is a fairly secret surf spot in Santa Barbara County, on some fairly undeveloped land, that is currently subject to potential development. Development at this beach would mean losing one of SB's last truly untouched, beautiful beaches. The show consisted of work (all of which was for sale), of all types. From paintings (some of Naples itself), to photography, to pottery, sculpture, and drawings, the show was a "hodge-podge" of work done by locals all for the purpose of raising both awareness and funds to stop the ruining of this beach. During the show, which lasted two nights, some local surfers / musicians kept the mood of the show fun and entertaining with jam sessions that lasted the entirety of the show. Part of the musical entertainment was my friend Catherine (or "Kat" as most know her), who sang with the band both nights. Although some of the work was truly awesome (I liked much of the photography of surfing on the california coastline), the vibe of the show, that of community and common cause, is what made it a very enjoyable experience.
heres an article i found about the show.,,check it out!
