"HOTSPOTS" Screenings

"HOTSPOTS" - Free Friday Flick Under the Stars
As a fundraiser for the Wildling Art Museum, the acclaimed film "HOTSPOTS" will premier in the Santa Ynez Valley for our summer Free Friday Flick Under the Stars.

“Hotspots” are some 35 regions in the world that have been identified by scientists as being species rich and, therefore, most vulnerable to environmental degradation. The film zeroes in on some of these "hotspots," so that we can learn first-hand from scientists about the threats faced by the rare flora and fauna that live there.

The garden will be open at 6:00 pm for guests to bring their own blankets, lawn chairs, and picnic baskets. The museum will extend its hours to give guest the opportunity to view "Endangered Species: Flora and Fauna in Peril," a perfect complement for the evening's environmental focus. In addition, there will be live music for entertainment and, before the film begins at sunset, film maker Michael Tobias will briefly introduce his film.

As always, this Friday Flick is free to the public - but, if you would like to show your support for the museum and the exhibitions and programs we offer throughout the year, there is a suggested donation of $6 per person or $10 per couple. Children 12 and under are free.

Wine, soda, and water along with popcorn and cookies will be provided, free, as long as supplies last. This program is made possible by a generous grant from The Valley Foundation. For more information about Wildling activities, click here.
