Santa Barbara Bowl

Nestled in the hillsides above Santa Barbara, the Bowl is a premier example of 1930s WPA Craftsman-style architecture and melds decades of music and vistas in ways no other open-air venue in America can. When the last campaign phase of the facility's renovation and restoration Master Plan is completed, the early 20th century grace will remain but rest firmly on 21st century underpinnings.

Although the new facilities resulting from this monumental renovation project will be first-class and in keeping with the distinctive architectural style, the American Classic Campaign is not about cosmetics. Every element is necessary for Santa Barbara's beloved Bowl not only to maintain its place as one of America's finest outdoor concert venues, but also to be able to continue to attract top-tier, world-class acts by keeping up with changing industry standards that require serious support for advances in lighting, sound and all areas of production.
