Thanks to the late Huguette Clark, Santa Barbara has a new arts foundation, and it comes with a house (er, Mansion)! Under the auspices of the Bellosguardo Foundation, the long-vacant 23.5 acre estate at 1407 Cabrillo Boulevard is now property of the city of Santa Barbara. The Foundation’s mission is to open the Bellosguardo estate and gardens to the public as a center that will foster and promote the arts. Read more about plans and history of Bellosguardo here.
