Rumble Art Fair 2009 provided a diverse platform for international visitors, locals, festival attendees, and art patrons alike to view Santa Barbara’s first annual international contemporary art fair taking place at the same time with the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. During the ten-day fair, visitors from London to Australia and New York to San Francisco viewed a vast array of contemporary art in cutting-edge photography, painting, design, sculpture, installation, and multi-media works. The ten day fair provided stimulating dialogue between visitors and featured artists, and Santa Barbara welcomed the arrival of it’s first annual contemporary art fair.
