Elements Theatre Collective presents
The Last Five Years
written and composed by Jason Robert Brown
A musical that defies many standard musical conventions, The Last Five Years follows the relationship between Cathy, an aspiring actress, and Jamie, a successful novelist, over the course of five years. Cathy’s story moves in reverse chronological order, while Jamie’s moves forward. The show examines what happens when love is not enough and the lack of connection in the seemingly closest moments of a relationship. An intimate and emotionally powerful examination of love, it is easy to see why The Last Five Years has been called a “cult-hit.”
Starring: Emily Jewell as Catherine Hiatt and Elisha Schaefer as Jamie Wellerstein. With Direction by Sara Rademacher, Music Direction by Stacie Anthes, Accompaniment by Ben Saunders, Set Design by Sarah Jane Bennett, Costume Design by Yuko Maikawa, Lighting Design by Chris Hanes, Stage Management by Sarah Minnis, and Produced by Rob Grayson & Mary Plant-Thomas.
Elements Theatre Collective will present The Last Five Years from April 12th through April 28th in multiple locations throughout Santa Barbara, Goleta, and Carpenteria. As part of Elements’ mission to provide free, professional quality theatre to under-served communities, all performances will be offered for free to the community, including a performance at Casa Esperanza Homeless Shelter. This production is presented in partnership with Santa Barbara Dance Alliance and the Santa Barbara Public Library System. The Last Five Years contains minimal adult language.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
SANTA BARBARA ARTS COLLABORATIVE ANNOUNCES ARTS ENTERPRISE GRANTS FOR SANTA BARBARA AREA ARTISTS.
For further information contact: Nathan Vonk, President of Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative at info@sbartscollaborative.org
This week the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative announced its new Arts Enterprise Grants. These grants will be open to artists of all disciplines residing, performing or exhibiting in the City of Santa Barbara. The grants build on the Arts Collaborative’s Direct-to-Artists grants program of April 2010. Funding support for the Arts Enterprise Grants has been provided through the Santa Barbara Limited Edition Online Print Sales program, and the Santa Barbara Foundation.
While the online submittal and review process will be the same as the Arts Collaborative’s 2010 Direct-to-Artist grants, Arts Enterprise Grants will place an emphasis on entrepreneurism and innovation. Ongoing or proposed Arts Enterprise Grant projects should provide innovative approaches or new models to further artistic career goals and provide opportunities for public engagement. Arts Collaborative Board President Nathan Vonk had this to say about the Arts Enterprise Grant opportunity for Santa Barbara based artists, “This grant is an amazing opportunity for local artists to learn from a diverse group of mentors who will help make their project a success.”
Grants will be available online at Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative website APPLY HERE beginning February 11th, 2013. The deadline for the online grant submittal is March 11th at 9pm Pacific Standard Time. Grant panelists will convene to review grant applicants and make selections during the week of March 18-22nd. 2013 Arts Enterprise grant recipients will be announced at the Santa Barbara County Arts Commission Annual Arts Symposium on April 26, 2013 at the Canary Hotel.
The Arts Enterprise Grant Review Panel includes individuals from a wide range of artistic disciplines and includes professionals with varied experience in business, administration, marketing and promotion. Members of the panel will act as an “ad hoc” committee to selected applicants throughout the next 12 months through the successful completion of their proposed project.
Since its inception, the efforts and programs of the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative continue with a goal to foster and facilitate collaboration. Conceived of by Nathan Vonk the Arts Collaborative provided an Arts Crawl program attached to the Downtown Organization’s popular 1st Thursday cultural nights. With the support of Mayor Helene Schneider, the Arts Collaborative instituted an Art in the Mayor’s Office program with an online call for entries. At the April 2012 County Arts Symposium the Arts Collaborative lead a community discussion on strategies to preserve the Funk Zone as an artisan centric neighborhood. The Arts Collaborative recently played a significant role in fostering collaboration, and engaging artists and businesses through participation in Pianos on State, its second Bar Napkin Biennale and the recent very successful Focus on the Funk Zone event in October. Through the Arts Enterprise Grant program the Arts Collaborative intends to continue its ongoing efforts to support and foster collaboration and innovation for Santa Barbara’s creative community.
“The idea behind the Arts Enterprise Grant program is to rethink the grant process and leverage the power of collaboration” says Rod Hare, co-founder and board member of the Santa Barbara Arts Collaborative. “Grants are a critical part of supporting a thriving artistic community in Santa Barbara, but often result in artists contorting their ideas to fit a grant’s criteria, just to secure the funds to keep going,” said Hare. “Our idea is to hear from artists what projects they’re passionate about, and then provide some necessary funds, yes, but more importantly surround that artist with individuals from the community who will commit to seeing the artist’s vision become reality. Almost like an ad hoc advisory board.”

Live Drawing and General Carousing
ROY
7 W. Castillo St.
Saturday, November 3rd
11 – 6p (come whenever you can and stay as long as you like)
Exhibition and Silent Auction
The Arts Fund of Santa Barbara
Saturday November 10th
11 – 8p (bring your check books)
You’re invited to the Santa Barbara Art Collaboartive’s next Bar Napkin Biennale starting this Saturday.
We are accepting submissions and having a live drawing session with participating artists at Roy on November 3rd, from 11 am to 6 pm, with the possibility of it running later into the night as logistics permit. This work will be compiled and curated to fit within the 2 walls at the Arts Fund on the 7th, where the napkins will be part of a silent auction with a reception on Saturday the 10th,
ending Tuesday the 13th. Spill over work will likely be compiled and shown in a flip book format adjacent to the walls in question. A silent auction would be held for all pieces displayed and the funds will go to the Arts Collaborative.
Funds from the event will be used to extend the SBAC’s insurance to allow the organization to umbrella other arts groups under their policy. The SBAC has for a long time wanted to be able to provide liability insurance for smaller arts organizations that are not able to afford a policy for themselves. This will be put to use specifically by small theater troupes, but could be used for impromptu exhibitions or concerts in non-traditional spaces.
We’ll supply all the napkins and media on the 3rd, of course. I hope you can make it. It is a great opportunity to hang out with other artists and cool people generally in a totally informal setting.
AND A GREAT BIG THANKS TO ROY AND TO THE ARTS FUND SANTA BARBARA!
