Nominations are now open for the 2026 City of Santa Barbara Business in Art Award, which recognizes local businesses that support artists and strengthen the city’s cultural life.

The annual award program began in 2005 and was established by the City of Santa Barbara\u2019s Arts Advisory Committee. Past recipients represent a diverse range of businesses, including Ablitt\u2019s Fine Cleaners & Tailors, Montecito Bank & Trust, Grace Fisher Foundation, The Santa Barbara Independent and lynda.com<\/a>.
\u201cThe Business in Art Award validated the power of inclusive arts in our community,\u201d said Jana Brody, Director of Operations and Development for the Grace Fisher Foundation. \u201cIt strengthened Grace and the team\u2019s commitment to ensuring that people of all abilities have opportunities to create, perform, and belong.\u201d

The honoree will be recognized in September as part of the Santa Barbara Beautiful Award Ceremony, and will receive a commemorative plaque for display, along with recognition at the City and County levels.
\u201cThe Business in Art Award helps shine a light on artists’ efforts and encourages continued collaboration and the building of partnerships between those communities,\u201d said Darrell McNeill, Chair of the City Arts Advisory Committee. \u201cIt\u2019s usually a win-win, as businesses that make that extra effort feel more connected and tend to be beloved by locals,\u201d said Sarah Rubin, Executive Director of the Office of Arts and Culture.
