Women's Song Circle
Step into an evening of connection, joy, and healing in the ARTS District with Sacred Bloom as we gather in a circle of women to share the transformative power of song. Together, we'll sing simple yet profound medicine songs that nourish the soul and awaken the sacred feminine energy within each of us. Leave feeling uplifted, lighter, and deeply grounded in your power. No experience is needed – this is a space for every voice. Songs will be taught in a gentle call-and-response style, making it easy for everyone to join in, connect, and enjoy the harmony of singing together.
Please RSVP with Sacred Bloom SB

HEARTS FOR ARTS
We are thrilled to announce Hearts for Arts, a special collaborative exhibition honoring the artists who have filled our Funk Zone gallery with creativity and inspiration over the past year and a half. On February 13th, from 5:00 to 8:00 PM, join us for an evening dedicated to celebrating art, community, and the journey we’ve shared in this special space.
Heart for Arts features works from the 15+ artists who have exhibited with us, offering a heartfelt tribute to the vibrant talent that has shaped our gallery. Proceeds from the evening will go directly to the artists and to support various artist funds in Santa Barbara—continuing our commitment to uplifting this creative community.
Although we’re closing this chapter in the Funk Zone, our ARTS District gallery on State Street will remain open, and we’re actively seeking a new Funk Zone location to build an inclusive community arts space. In the meantime, our neighbors at Lama Dog will take over the current space, expanding their business and bringing new energy to 116 Santa Barbara Street.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of our artists, patrons, and the Santa Barbara community. Join us as we celebrate the past, embrace the present, and look forward to an inspiring future for the arts.
Reception: Thursday, February 13th, from 5-8pm
