The Santa Barbara Historical Museum is hosting a members-only kickoff party for their upcoming Lutah Maria Riggs exhibition (running through spring 2015).

The exhibition itself is open to the public, and explores the life and work of the architect and draftswoman, and her contribution to what has become “Santa Barbara Style”. The special exhibition celebrates the iconic architectural elements that define America’s Riviera – white walls with arched openings, red-tile, wrought iron, classical Mediterranean mixed with Art Moderne, and a focus on outdoor living and enjoying the views.
