## Resource

Behind the velvet ropes and gallery lights, the Santa Barbara Museum of Art is letting its unsung heroes take center stage. In “A Few of Our Favorite Things,” everyday staff—educators, security guards, gift shop workers, and installation crews—share the art they love most, revealing how their personal stories, life experiences, and deep museum ties shape their choices. From a portrait of the enigmatic Mercedes de Acosta to a sculpture echoing childhood pressures, each piece is infused with emotion and meaning. This isn’t just an exhibition—it’s a heartfelt tribute to the people who keep the museum alive, showing how art speaks louder when seen through the eyes of those who live it daily.
