Goleta Valley Library’s Community Room at 500 N. Fairview Avenue has been transformed into a Creek Week Art Gallery from now through Sunday, September 29. Stop by during open hours to check out the 114 submissions that were received for the Third Annual Creek Week Art Contest, exactly double the 57 submissions received last year! Thank you to everyone who participated – the submissions are truly outstanding. The Creek Week Art Contest was open to all ages and is held in honor of Creek Week, which is coming up September 21-28.
