“As accomplished artists across a breadth of media, Goodman and Uyesaka will share about their respective works and insights into the processes of sculpture and printmaking,†says Chris Rupp, interim museum director.
Goodman, who works in a broad range of media and scale, from installations to printmaking to handheld sculptures, received the County of Santa Barbara Individual Artist Award. He has twice been a panelist for the National Endowment of the Arts, Washington, D.C.
Uyesaka, who grew up as a third-generation Japanese American in the San Joaquin Valley, came to Santa Barbara to earn a bachelor’s degree in art from UC Santa Barbara in 1975. He has been a steady contributor to the local art scene ever since, and has served as an art instructor at Laguna Blanca School since 2000.
