On October 12, the Land Trust hosted our Gaviota Getaway – Plein Air event at the incredible Arroyo Hondo Preserve. We had 20 of Santa Barbara’s best-loved artists painting live in the Hollister Meadow and displaying their work for sale. The artists generously donated 50% of their sales to the continued preservation, restoration and education programs at the Arroyo Hondo Preserve. Live music from the Honeysuckle Possums accompanied attendees as they strolled through the meadow admiring art and enjoying wine from our sponsors and gourmet picnic baskets.
