About the Business
The California Nature Art Museum, located at 1511-B Mission Drive in Solvang, California, offers a unique perspective on the importance of preserving our natural heritage. Featuring artwork by renowned artists such as Larry Iwerks, the museum serves as a hub for artistic, educational, and field experiences related to nature. Visitors can explore exhibits that highlight the beauty of the Santa Ynez Buttes and other natural landscapes, inspiring a deeper appreciation for the environment.
In addition to its exhibits, the California Nature Art Museum also functions as a store and tourist attraction, attracting visitors of all ages. The museum is open from Monday to Sunday, with varying hours of operation, allowing guests to explore at their convenience. The institution relies on contributions from supporters to provide quality programs and exhibitions that benefit the community.
Located on the ancestral lands of the Santa Ynez Tribe of Chumash Indians, the museum acknowledges and respects the Tribe's cultural heritage. The Santa Ynez Chumash Museum & Cultural Center, set to open in late 2023, will further celebrate the Tribe's vital role in the Santa Ynez Valley and Santa Barbara County region.
Support from organizations such as the Adams Legacy Foundation, Ann Jackson Family Foundation, and Montecito Bank & Trust, among others, helps the California Nature Art Museum continue its mission of promoting art and nature conservation. Whether you're a nature enthusiast, art lover, or simply looking for a unique cultural experience, a visit to the California Nature Art Museum is sure to leave you inspired and connected to the natural world.
Reviews
"I feel very disappointed and discriminated against my disability for how that the executive director, Stacey did not follow up with me through on the job application after I informed her that I have an existing disability. She actually went on ahead with other candidate without letting me know and I patiently waited for months!!"
"I really loved this little museum. It was small but quaint and educational with beautiful pieces on display. There was even a little place to make little origami animals in the educational room."
"We visited while the museum was under construction, and were surprised that they remained open. Admission was free as a result and we spent plenty of time roaming the photography exhibit on display in addition to watching the whole video about great oaks. Upstairs there was more art and a room with activities like origami. When we returned to the lobby we browsed the gift shop and purchased some local art. The woman in the shop was so excited when we proudly showed her our origami. It was a wonderful time, we can't wait to visit after renovation is complete."
"Very cool museum with very interesting things to see."
"This is a great place for those who appreciate art and budding artists alike. The downstairs is a gallery dedicated to fine art. The second floor offers a small exibit of various media and includes a table where visitors can design and mail their own postcards. The third floor hallway is lined with children's art and has a room set up for origami. If your children need a quiet place to get away from the bustle of Solvang downtown, this is a great place for them to relax and create while you join in on their fun."
