Have you ever experienced 1st Thursday in downtown Santa Barbara?  a 
truly local event that encourages us to come out and enjoy our own 
community....
1st Thursday is an award winning program highlighting downtown arts, 
culture and entertainment on the first Thursday of every month.
All 1stThursday attractions are free. 5-8pm.
The SBCC Center for Sustainability will be hosting the Lexicon of 
Sustainability exhibit at the 1st Thursday event tonight at the 
corner of State & Anapamu Streets, in front of the Santa Barbara Museum of Art.

Edible Santa Barbara magazine & Bamboo DNA are our co-sponsors for 
the evening event.  Samy's Camera is sponsoring film development & 
assistance for two students from the SBCC Projects in Sustainability 
class who are creating panels to add to the Lexicon exhibit featuring 
local pioneers in Sustainability from our region.  They are in the 
middle of their semester & projects, come learn about the class and 
their evolving projects, and who they have selected as 
subjects.  Lexicon of Sustainability short films will be playing on a 
small outdoor screen where you can learn more about this National 
exhibit tour and its creator, film-maker and author, Douglas Gayeton.

What is the Lexicon of Sustainability...

A unique pop-up art show of visually packed collages, making a tour 
across the country with local curators.  Created by author, film 
maker and photographer Douglas Gayeton, who has for the past three 
years conversed with the foremost practitioners of Sustainability in 
food and farming. They shared their insights and experiences and 
contributed their words to our rapidly growing Lexicon of 
Sustainability. The Lexicon project has also grown to include short 
films, study guides, traveling shows, a book and a website where 
people can add their own terms to this ever-evolving lexicon.

Gayeton identified 100 key Sustainability terms and began visiting 
the farmers, fishermen, foragers, and chefs across the country who 
could help him define them. By illuminating the vocabulary of 
sustainable agriculture and the conversation about America's rapidly 
evolving food culture, the Lexicon project gives people the tools and 
knowledge necessary to create a healthier, safer food system in America.
The Lexicon of Sustainability Exhibit at the April 5 1st Thursday 
event will include art/photo panels created by students in the SBCC 
Projects in Sustainability class, who have interviewed local pioneers 
in Sustainability from our region.

Sponsored by the SBCC Center for Sustainability
Co-Sponsors: Edible Santa Barbara Magazine & Samy's Camera
