About Santa Barbara Art Foundry
The Santa Barbara Art Foundry sits in the heart of Santa Barbara’s vibrant Funk Zone, offering a unique, flexible event space that captures the area’s creative spirit. With room for 10 to 300 guests across roughly 3,000 square feet, the venue was known as a working foundry turned gallery and event space. While the space has since closed as a venue, it remains a notable point of reference for planners seeking a historical, industrial-chic setting in a walkable downtown locale.
