SUMMARY:1969:  The Santa Barbara Oil Spill & Birth of the Environmental Movement
DESCRIPTION:By Marc McGinnes \nOn January 28\, 1969\, a blowout at Union Oil’s Platform A caused three million gallons of oil to surge into the sea floor of the Santa Barbara Channel.   Over the next ten days the spill left an 800-square-mile stain on the ocean’s surface.  This disaster – forever a part of our local history – affected our coastline from Pismo Beach to Oxnard and beyond\, killing thousands of birds\, fish and marine mammals along with leaving large portions of Santa Barbara County dealing with the aftereffects for years. \nThe public outrage led to legislation and ultimately the birth of the modern environmental movement in Santa Barbara. \nMarc McGinnes\, Professor Emeritus and a founding member of UC Santa Barbara’s Environmental Studies Program\, will discuss the central role that our community has played in launching and sustaining the environmental movement through the past 50 years\, and the pivotal role it will play into the future. \nReservation required.  Members are complimentary\, guests $5. \n\nAbout The Speaker:\nMarc McGinnes was a leading founder of the Community Environmental Council and the Environmental Defense Center.  He is a founding member of the Environmental Studies Program at the University of California\, Santa Barbara (UCSB)\, where he developed and taught ten courses\, including the nation’s longest-running undergraduate course in environmental law and policy. The winner of numerous teaching awards\, he incorporated into the curriculum lessons learned from his experience as one of the country’s earliest practitioners of public interest environmental law. \n  \nHe is the author of In Love with Earth: Testimonies and Heartsongs of an Environmental Elder.

SUMMARY:Talk: Santa Barbara Sacred Spaces
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Genevieve Antonow about her new book\, “Santa Barbara Sacred Spaces.”  The book is a historical exploration of the Central Coast’s diverse religious settlements\, their distinctive houses of worship and universal spiritual paths amid the stunning landscape of our city. \nMembers attend free\, guests $5.  Reservation required. \n \n\nSanta Barbara Sacred Spaces was born from a simple idea: to celebrate in words and pictures an intriguing and disarming quality of Santa Barbara\, namely\, that it is good for the soul. Our quiet community is gradually developing a reputation as a pilgrimage site: a place of harmony\, diversity\, beauty and tranquility that lifts the hearts of virtually all who pass this way as spiritual seekers. Over the centuries people from every culture and religious persuasion have been drawn to the central coast of California in search of a better life. They have discovered Santa Barbara to be more than just another sunny spot. Dramatically framed by the mountains and the sea\, this region’s unique blend of light\, air\, water\, and environment is conducive to the spiritual awakening and renewal of all whose hearts are open and spirits are receptive.  – Genevieve Antonow \nAbout the Author:\nGenevieve Antonow\, a native of France\, was educated in France and Chicago. She worked the tourism division of the French consulate in New York. In Chicago she raised her family and founded International Art Network\, an organization bringing together artists and enthusiasts in the arts community. Genevieve has lived seasonaly in Santa Barbara for six years. Her years spent there have inspired her to explore its history though its religious and spiritual sites. \n

SUMMARY:Talk: Joe De Yong: A Life in the West
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk about new book\, Joe De Yong: A Life in the West by author and Western historian\, Bill Reynolds. \nReservation required.\n$15 Members\, $20 Guests\nRESERVE ONLINE or call the front desk! \nOverview:\nJoe DeYong (1894 – 1975) was an artist\, illustrator\, writer and sculpture who lived during the golden age Western art in the last century. He was born in the heartland – near St. Louis\, MO in the small town of Webster Groves. His parents picked-up and move to “Indian territory” near Dewey\, Oklahoma where his father Adrian DeYong opened a mercantile store and young Joe attended school and worked on ranches with a deep love of the cowboy ways. He had the opportunity to meet and work on a few western films with the then\, silent-screen hero\, Tom Mix but during that period in early 1913\, contracted an illness. Mix notified DeYong’s parents with a short\, too-the-point telegram – “Joe has cerebro-meningitis. Doctor says serious. Tom Mix” Joe would ultimately recover but he would be left totally deaf. In 1916\, DeYong had the opportunity to correspond with and ultimately meet the great western artist of the day\, Charles M. Russell. It would be one of many introductions that would change DeYong’s life. In this case he would work with Russell in his studio for ten years until Russell’s death in 1926. DeYong was very close to both Charlie and his wife Nancy Russell – who helped him with his career. \nThe two introduced DeYong to Howard Eaton\, owner of the Eaton Ranch – one of the first guest ranches in the West. DeYong would work there thru the 1920’s and later move to Santa Barbara\, CA to work with other artist friends of Russell including Edward Borein\, Maynard Dixon and others. DeYong’s life would go on to include work in Hollywood on numerous classic westerns as well being a tremendous influence on the lives of other western artists. His writings\, art and sculptures would create a picture of a region’s culture that would change dramatically at the end of the 1930s with the start of WWII. Joe DeYong’s story is an untold one about a quiet man who influenced many and helped establish and celebrate many important western artists. Joe DeYong died in Los Angeles\, CA in 1975 but left behind an important contribution to the art and culture of the American West. \n\nPublisher and author William Reynolds has worked in the Western Industry for over 35 years.  He authored “The Art Of The Western Saddle\,” which was named Equine Book of the Year in 2004 by American Horse Publications and published western journals The Cowboy Way and Ranch & Reata. Along with horseman Buck Brannaman\, he wrote the best-selling “The Faraway Horses” and “Believe: A Horseman’s Journey.”  Mr Reynolds serves as a Museum trustee.

SUMMARY:Women's History Month Talk - Testimonios: Early California through the Eyes of Women
DESCRIPTION:Members are complimentary\, guests are $5.\nReservation Required.  Tickets available HERE. \nIn honor of Women’s History Month the Museum will host a series of talks to inspire you.  Join us for a talk by Rose Marie Beebe and Robert Senkewicz\, authors of the book Testimonios: Early California through the Eyes of Women\, 1815-1848. \nWhen in the early 1870s historian Hubert Howe Bancroft sent interviewers out to gather oral histories from the pre-statehood gentry of California\, he didn’t count on one thing: the women. When the men weren’t available\, the interviewers collected the stories of the women of the household—sometimes almost as an afterthought. These interviews were eventually archived at the University of California\, Berkeley though many were all but forgotten.\n\nTestimonios: Early California through the Eyes of Women\, 1815-1848 presents thirteen women’s firsthand accounts from the days when California was part of Spain and Mexico. Having lived through the gold rush and seen their country change so drastically\, these women understood the need to tell the full story of the people and the places that were their California. \n\n About the Speakers: \nRose Marie Beebe is Professor of Spanish literature at Santa Clara University and Robert M. Senkewicz is Professor of History at Santa Clara University. Together they have collaborated on a number of books on the history of Spanish and Mexican California including\, The History of Alta California\, Lands of Promise and Despair: Chronicles of Early California\, 1535–1846; Testimonios: Early California through the Eyes of Women\, 1815–1848; and “To Toil in That Vineyard of the Lord”: Contemporary Scholarship on Junípero Serra; and Junípero Serra: California\, Indians\, and the Transformation of a Missionary (University of Oklahoma Press\, 2015). Their current project is on Mariano Guadalupe Vallejo’s five-volume “Recuerdos históricos y personales….” They are in the process of translating and annotating this very important manuscript. \nBeebe and Senkewicz have received numerous teaching and scholarship awards at Santa Clara University. In 2015 they were recognized with the University Award for Sustained Excellence in Scholarship. They have also received awards from The Bancroft Library\, the Historical Society of Southern California\, the California Mission Studies Association\, the California Council for the Promotion of History. Beebe received a year-long fellowship from the National Endowment for the Humanities for the Vallejo project.

DESCRIPTION:Join us for a talk by Dr. Elizabeth Stewart about her latest book. \nFree entry for member/ $5 Guests\nReservation Required.\nClick here to make a reservation.\n \nNo Thanks Mom: The Top Ten Objects Your Kids Do NOT Want (and what to do with them) is an honest and humorous exploration of the generational differences in the households and possessions of Millennials/Gen-Xers and their Boomer parents. The central conflict is that most of the Boomers’ grown kids are refusing the family heirlooms that have been saved for them. \nDr. Stewart\, a certified appraiser (and SBHM docent!) discusses the top 10 objects that younger generations do not want as “gifts” from the homes of their parents and grandparents. She finds a consistent pattern of familial tensions over objects that older relatives have saved for the kids\, wishing and hoping to pass on the beloved family treasures. If you’ve tried to pass on fine china\, tableware\, linens\, fine porcelain figurines\, silver-plated objects\, ornate rugs\, or heavy\, dark furniture to a Millennial\, you know it’s not so easy. \nThe problem\, Dr. Stewart says\, is the intergenerational difference in the concept of value and ownership. The answer\, she explains\, is to understand the new and changing concept of home\, and to follow her specific remedies for each category of objects. \nStewart reviews each of the 10 object groups and gives the current owners ideas on how to pass them on. She provides an easy way to survey your belongings and offers advice on how to verify value and\, where there is a market\, how to put your items in play. \n\nDr. Stewart is a certified member of the Appraisers Association of America and a 30-year veteran of “stuff.” She analyzes art and antiques for estate planning to ascertain value\, and is one of the few appraisers nationally qualified in donation appraisals for IRS deduction purposes. \nShe advises on the best places to sell “stuff\,” and why certain things are worth keeping. Her favorite career challenges have included the late Jonathan Winters estate of 160\,000 objects\, a tech executive’s university donation of 20 truckloads of virtual reality\, and a 50-year historical research archive that a Guggenheim fellow donated to UCSB. \nHer column\, “Ask the Appraiser\,” appears weekly in the Santa Barbara News Press under the pseudonym “The Golddigger.” She also hosts a weekly radio show covering the arts on KZSB. Her first book\, Collect Value Divest: The Savvy Appraiser\, relates tales of the various categories of objects that people both collect and want to sell. \nDr. Stewart holds a PhD from Pacifica in Mythological Studies with an emphasis on Material Culture. Her dissertation\, titled The Material Image: Why Collectors Collect\, is a scholarly approach to consumers\, collectors\, connoisseurs and hoarders.
