La Cumbre Center for Creative Arts (LCCCA) is an art collective that offers its 24 members, studio and display space in vacant retail spaces. It is located in a beautiful upscale mid century modern outdoor mall that is suffering, like many other malls from retail decline. LCCCA was created in 2018 by businessman Mike Cregan, who was inspired by this creative and adaptive business model while visiting NYC and seeing it there. LCCCA is a timely reinvention of how commercial space can be transformed in this new era. LCCCA consists of 3 galleries which are independently run by the occupant artists. The LCCCA offers a wide and ever changing variety of art in different mediums and styles. In July 2022 The Arts Fund, a county wide art association, will be joining our venue in a neighboring large space, thus creating together with us, a true art destination in uptown Santa Barbara!
Our fellow neighbors are Starbucks, Lure Fish House, Pottery Barn and Macy’s.
