Unending
Opening Reception, Saturday August 21, 6-8 pm
Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara
Museum of Contemporary Art Santa Barbara is pleased to present the University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB) Master of Fine Arts 2020 cohort exhibition Unending. Originally intended as the culmination of their 2020 MFA degrees, these artists take up the personal and cultural cycles of grief & transformation in order to congeal a new vision.
Unending is a registration of the past broken by the present, allowing for deeper contemplation and immersion to take place. This exhibition showcases the collapse of time, tradition, and production, culminating in something more slowly realized and returned to.
Unending features the work of Serene Blumenthal, Kio Griffith, Megan Koth, Marshall Sharpe, Thomas Stoeckinger, and David Wesley White, working across the mediums of sculpture, photography, installation, video, and painting. Click here for more information about the UCSB Art Department.

Jackson Gillies Band
Santa Barbara native Jackson Gillies knows the thrills and tribulations of life as a child prodigy better than most. His initial appearances on local stages marked him for success when he was just 15. After winning Santa Barbara’s Teen Star competition in 2016, he performed at the Kick Ash Bash benefit for Montecito, and from there, with a little help from a couple of other Santa Barbara folks — no less than Kenny Loggins and Katy Perry — Gillies wound up making it to network television as a contestant on American Idol when he was still in his teens.
