Sundial Studios: Journey
Come with us on a journey as Artists Trevor Coopersmith, a senior from UCSB, invites 7 art students with disabilities to explore a new art form. In doing this they find a new way to express their creativity and independence. Art from the class will be displayed alongside photos of the journey. This will be a collaborative show that will include the art from the teacher and his students.

Come join with us on this journey May 18th at Sundial Studios located at 715 Kimball St., Santa Barbara from 5:30-8:30pm to enjoy the art, refreshments, and live jazz music!

Charles “Chuck” Jefferson has been working diligently towards achieving his goals at UCP WORK Inc. At our Sundial Studio art gallery, he pursued his love of art by making ceramic crosses, several of which he sold at our most recent show. Chuck has had a lifelong dream of attending college, and during 2015 he took two semesters of vocals classes at Santa Barbara City College. Immediately being amongst fellow music lovers, Chuck made a multitude of friends. With the support of UCP Work Inc. staff, plus his own internal motivation, Chuck received A’s in his classes.
