"Cut and Paste" Collage in Santa Barbara: Celebrating Laguna Teacher Dug Uyesaka's Arts Fund Gallery Show

"Cut and Paste" - Collage in Santa Barbara
When: Through January 11, 2019
Where: Arts Fund Gallery, 205C Santa Barbara Street

One doesn't have to cast a very wide net or search in remote corners to put together a show of artists in the realm of assemblage and collage in Santa Barbara, but the new group show at Arts Fund Gallery is something notably special.

That may be partly thanks to the insight and rolodex of curator Dug Uyesaka, one of this town's most significant artists for many years, and something of a humble master in the collective/connective arts of assemblage and collage. Mr. Uyesaka is behind the scenes this time, but his tastes for art with humor, surreal juxtapositions and improvisational visual scheming seem to run through the art here.

Congratulations, Dug!
