UCSB Arts & Lectures provides the Santa Barbara Community with access to high-profile authors, media contributors, and world leaders.

Arts and Lectures (A&L) presents an innovative, unique, entertaining, and diverse program of exceptional performances, films and lectures. The close relationship between A&L and the Orfalea Foundation helps us bring unparalleled focus and attention to efforts of the  foundation initiatives. One of the important goals of this relationship is to develop community engagement and educational opportunities for students, with priority given to the REACH participants and UCSB’s Master’s in Global & International Studies students.
