Santa Barbara Museum of Art’s Women’s Board hosted a socially gridlocked Art of the Table, with local artists and designers translating works of art from the museum’s collection into spectacular and dramatic tablescapes.

“We wanted to add another event to our portfolio as we’ve been doing a lot of fundraising because the museum has been undergoing renovation,” says Lynn Brown, board vice president for development.

Among those showcasing their wares were international interior designer John Saladino, whose Montecito estate Villa di Lemma was sold to TV talk-show host Ellen DeGeneres, Cynthia Belliveau, Gina Andrews, Steve and Caroline Thompson of Cabana Home, Collette Cosentino, Eric Berg, Marc Normand Gelinas, Victoria Imperioli and Starr Siegele, Margaret Matson, Diana Dolan, Hogue and Co., and Jack and Rose Hershorn of The Sacred Space.

Among the art enthusiasts quaffing the wine and devouring the canapés were Bob and Holly Murphy, Adele Rosen, Anne Towbes, Terry and Pam Valeski, Barbara Woods, David and Anne Gersh, Hugh Margerum, Nancy Gifford, Gail Beust, and Barbara Ben-Horin.
