The SBMA Ambassadors’ 75th anniversary celebration, Mid-Century in Motion, is a fundraising event supporting the Museum’s exhibitions and education programs. The theme reflects both the creativity of the 1950s and the Museum’s ongoing movement toward greater access and community engagement.

This special anniversary event will feature a display of classic cars, vintage-inspired cocktails, live music, swing dancing, retro photobooth and a buffet of mid-century American favorites. A brief program will celebrate the Ambassadors’ 75-year legacy, including a special tribute to past presidents, making for an unforgettable evening!

Proceeds from this and all Ambassadors activities helps ensure that the Santa Barbara Museum of Art can continue presenting dynamic exhibitions and offering meaningful arts education programs to our community.

Individual tickets will be available beginning February 23, 2026.
