Cacao + Songs

Join us with Palma Colectiva for a magical evening of music, cacao and community.

We will begin with a heart opening cacao ceremony, a gentle and uplifting experience that promotes connection and creativity. As we share our beautiful cacao we will create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your voice and express yourself through songs.Whether you're a seasoned musician or just starting to discover your vocal abilities, all are welcome.

No experience is necessary. Bring your instrument, whether it's a guitar, drum, or simply your voice, and prepare to open your hearts and sing together.

This event is a part of our Palma Promise: our way of giving back to the community so everyone who is in need of mindful and healing work can receive it in a safe, nourishing and intentional environment.

Tuesday, October 8th from 6 - 7:30. RSVP with Palma Collective, we can't wait to see you!

Conversations with Artists

Sit down with us Friday, October 11th, from 5-7pm as Mark Russell Jones shares his insights between abstraction and representation, and his approach to painting that is informed by geography, light and environment.

Jones' work considers spatial perspectives while contemplating its interaction with such elements as air, fire, water and earth. The end results are large scale oil paintings echoing the sensibilities of Turner, Rothko, and Richter.

Barry Dwayne Hollis

Barry Dwayne Hollis, October 25th - November 24th: Renowned Santa Barbara sculptor and artist, Barry Dwayne Hollis was originally trained with a degree in Photographic Illustration from Brooks Institute of Santa Barbara, and added sculpture to his repertoire in 1996.

Two of Hollis' steel sculptures, Eyes on Me, and Help or Hindrance, are currently on display on the patio at Fox Wine, as a prelude to the exhibition.

"I am attracted to the idea of recognition, empowerment, and reincarnation of what is under appreciated, left behind, common, bent, broken, and simple. I adopt things and put them together to create new life. The abstract sculptures reflect the world around us and remind us that if we are open, anything can be transformed".
