The Museums exhibits, both permanent and rotating, highlight the local maritime history of the California Central Coast and give visitors and locals a sense of Santa Barbaras 13,000-year maritime history. Exhibits honor people such as commercial divers, commercial fishermen, and lighthouse keepers who, through everyday actions, enrich our lives today.The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) receives over 40,000 visitors annually and focuses on interactive exhibits and hands-on educational programming. In 2020 SBMM received a 10-year Accreditation from the American Alliance of Museums (AAM), placing it into the top echelon of museums across the country. Of the more than 33,000 museums in the United States, fewer than 1,100 are currently accredited by AAM. In fiscal year 2023 the Museum also completed the second year of its 5-year Strategic Plan, which provides staff and the Board of Directors the tools to navigate the future course of the Museum.The Museums education programming continues to expand, now providing programs for elementary and high school students across Santa Barbara County and beyond. In the past year programming has expanded to Lompoc High School students, and new elementary schools in Carpinteria, in addition to having schools from Bakersfield and the east coast visit. SBMM serves as the fiscal agent for the Santa Barbara Channel Whale Heritage Area (SBCWHA), which became the ninth such designated area and only the second in the United States. The Museums Whales are Superheroes!, which provides both instruction and an art activity to show how whales help with climate change, helps fulfill the SBCWHAs education role. The Museums nationally recognized Maritime on the Move program continues to grow, serving more than 1,400 youth just in the summer of 2023. This innovative program has received multiple awards, including:Being named a finalist in the American Alliance of Museums 2021 EdCom Award for Innovation and Education Award- Pandemic EditionBeing awarded the California Alliance of Museums California Natural Resources Agency Secretarys Public Education Award for Excellence in SustainabilityBeing asked by the Council of American Maritime Museums to present about the program at their 2021 national conferenceReceived the Epic award for Excellence in EducationThe majority of students participating in SBMM education programs attend public elementary schools in Santa Barbara County that qualify for Title I funding and serve low-income households. Adults also enjoy the many educational programs operated by the Museum, including a monthly lecture series that averages 120 attendees per month.During fiscal year 2023 SBMM displayed The Peaceful Sea, featuring artwork by Kevin Short, and The Lure of Lighthouses & Dancing Waves, featuring photographs by Emmy Award winner Dan Merkel. The Museum also upgraded its Pilot House exhibit into Navigating Jack Tar to Safe Harbor, featuring a challenging, animated voyage from Santa Barbara Island to the Santa Barbara Harbor. 397738 1515 Program Services: 4b: EducationThanks to the generosity of SBMM Board Member Roger Chrisman and his wife Sarah, the Museum now has access to the tall ship Mystic Whaler to provide educational programming. In April 2023 SBMM piloted a new program called Echoes of a Merchant Mariner, which combines a reflection on the historical uses and methods for sailing a 110-ft tall ship in the past while simultaneously challenging students to operate a similar vessel today. Students gained a clearer understanding of the 19th-century lives of those that brought cargo around the world and had the same responsibilities that persist into the 21st century. They exercised their understanding of math, physics, history, and engineering to practice traditional skills such as navigation and mechanical advantage on this 3.5-hour sail. In September 2022 SBMM expanded its Girls in Ocean Science program to include both junior high school and high school females. Both groups got to go out on the ocean, working with female naturalists and scientists, including those from UCSBs Jenn Caselle Lab, which is focused on marine conservation and reef ecology. The high school students performed hands-on experiments aboard the NOAA research vessel Shearwater with their crew. The purpose of this program is to inspire these young ladies to go to college and pursue careers in various ocean-related fields. Whales Are Superheroes! complemented SBMMs permanent exhibit of the same name. SBMM sends staff and naturalists to classrooms countywide to show how whales help with climate change, and includes an art component taught by Sondra Weiss. Students learn to appreciate the role whales play in providing oxygen to our planet, helping our oceans provide more of the air we breathe each day than trees do. This program helps to fulfill the educational component of efforts to have the Santa Barbara Channel declared a Whale Heritage Area, encouraging eco-friendly whale-watching experiences. 1238769 true true false false false false false true false true true false false true true true true false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true false false false false false false false true 27 0 true 26 true true true false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 24 24 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Greg Gorga 8059628404 113 Harbor Way 190 Santa Barbara CA 93109 Greg Gorga Executive Direc 40.00 0.00 X 131315 0 16645 John Brinker Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Gail Anikouchine Treasurer 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Ed Brady Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Leslie Power Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Steve Epstein Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roger Chrisman Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Andrew Cooper Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 David Bolton Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Cindy Makela Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Elsbeth Kleen Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 John Doordan Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sabrina Papa Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sigrid Toye President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Robert Schwemmer Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Linda Stirling Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 George Writer Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Kate Ford Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Shaun Tomson Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Chuck Wilson Vice President 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Randall Fox Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jennifer Weisman Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jarrell Jackman Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Suzi Schomer Trustee 4.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alex Weinstein Secretary 6.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 131315 16645 1 false false false . 0 36287 2241383 100218 2277670 Admissions 900099 82240 82240 Education programs 900099 1515 1515 83755 5034 5034 0 0 2075 5085 -3010 -3010 -3010 102263 102192 71 71 71 94135 36287 84365 9770 9770 0 72440 42722 29718 29718 Other income 900099 7708 7708 7708 2410716 91463 29718 11865 0 0 0 0 153377 30675 30675 92027 0 778170 520968 199775 57427 21449 16956 3064 1429 52749 42940 7416 2393 74241 44884 18045 11312 0 0 47127 103 47024 0 0 0 66266 13614 13404 39248 36785 8883 27902 23624 13602 9463 559 66060 42571 19265 4224 0 110475 89987 10244 10244 0 0 5670 1757 2913 1000 0 0 193142 154514 19314 19314 26237 25591 646 Education program costs 142228 139763 141 2324 Repairs and maintenance 44036 42579 1457 Donor recognition 37079 793 6 36280 Utilities 29916 23932 2992 2992 86653 33540 34673 18440 1995284 1238769 429400 327115 0 734525 482044 367304 31620 0 0 0 0 29553 24749 32021 48419 5731030 4211688 1592591 1519342 695586 1920676 0 0 0 717553 964448 4169133 4991298 151934 160936 30540 367531 182474 528467 X 2554074 3335878 1432585 1126953 3986659 4462831 4169133 4991298 X 415432 27488 33252 X false true X true false X 1289699 1403017 1637888 1803080 1383583 7517267 0 0 1289699 1403017 1637888 1803080 1383583 7517267 1461711 6055556 82805 80846 4302 49466 7109 224528 0 0 7741795 505999 0.78220 0.78770 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED X X X false 276132 868354 28590 1173076 250000 35000 -8868 276132 175882 75000 963 1845 250000 165357 10000 525 175882 145000 20000 357 165357 0.77510 0.21740 0.00750 false false false 2300548 1657316 643232 564411 542651 21760 2866071 2011721 854350 1519342 Cash held for Exhbits 88380 Deposits 2154 Interest in charitable remainder trust 487327 Prepaid rent 152805 ROU assets 233782 964448 Advance deposits 127740 Lease liability 236991 Rental deposits 2800 367531 X 2514178 27488 75974 103462 2410716 2410716 2038006 42722 42722 1995284 1995284 Part III, Line 1a: If organization elected under SFAS 116 to not report are, historical treasures, o Artifact collectionThe Museum maintains a comprehensive maritime artifacts collection.
