I love this place...great people, great array of art classes, programs, workshops and more for the entire community. Summer concerts in the courtyard, bold and brave art exhibitions,. Arts education is invaluable to our youth and the Lynda Fairly Carpinteria Arts Center provides some of the best programs anywhere. A must see if you visit Carpinteria. A locals favorite.

★★★Lucky Enlow

The arts center here is a nice little community center that always has classes and activities going on and the staff is quite nice as well. You can usually also walking in and enjoy the small galleries they have near the back and the ladies that work there are quite nice. It's a neat little stop.
