For the last 30 years, the Arts Fund of Santa Barbara has helped hundreds of young people hone their art skills in their Teen Arts Mentorship program. This year, they’ve decided to flip the focus on some of the mentors that have made the past three decades so successful. 

The Arts Fund’s newest exhibition, Nurturing the Youth, is now on view, showcasing the work of 10 established artist mentors who’ve helped young artists flourish. The pieces range from pen and ink to cyanotype, 2D to 3D, documentary to sci-fi. 

Terra Cobian has been on both sides of the program as a mentee and mentor. They now serve as the Arts Fund’s Program Manager and helped curate the show.
