After many years of hard work, planning, and construction, the DANA Adobe Cultural Center had its much anticipated grand opening on May 20 and is now open to the public!
The Cultural Center is about 4,500 square feet and is meant for the community’s use, with the capacity to be a gallery, classroom, and an event space, as the building is equipped with a commercial kitchen. The Cultural Center is open to the public on Saturday from 10 AM to 1 PM and on Sunday from 1 PM to 4 PM. So come by and check out our ongoing exhibits, such as SLOPE paintings and “She Sang Me a Good Luck Song,” a statewide traveling exhibition.
Look forward to the completion of the Chumash Interpretive Area, expansion of the nature trails throughout the 130-acre property, developing the exhibits, restoration and beautification improvements, and much more!
