Council Groups

Museum and Director’s Council members are the AD&A Museum’s most committed supporters. Their contributions help to sustain the Museum’s programs. As such, they receive invitations for intimate events that provide behind-the-scenes experiences, introduce members to artists, architects and scholars and deepen their understanding of the histories behind our exhibitions. 
 
Council members meet multiple times a year for a full day of exciting and interesting activities, in places such as Santa Barbara, Ojai, Los Angeles, or Palm Springs. Gatherings are connected to Museum programs, and they offer additional access to collections, curators, and other resources. Typically, we tour an exhibition, artist’s studio, significant building, landscape, or a collector’s architecturally interesting home. We view recent acquisitions and share plans for future exhibitions and programs. 
 
Our goal is to provide opportunities for an enhanced understanding of the artists and architects represented in the Museum’s collections and exhibitions, as well as a more intimate experience of the research and teaching of the Museum’s staff.
 
For more information on Council membership, please contact Leslie Gray, Senior Director of Development, at leslie.gray@ucsb.edu or (805) 893-4193.
