Born On this Day: June Wayne in 1918

Charles Garabedian (1923-2016)

“Creativity is a strange thing, very elusive. The important thing is that everybody has to do something and everybody should find out who they are.” - Charles Garabedian (1923-2016)

The Santa Barbara Museum of Art is deeply saddened by the passing of Charles Garabedian, a figure whose highly unique path as an artist had a broad influence on Los Angeles and contributed to the pluralistic view of art, place, and practice that took shape on the West Coast in the 1980s.
