About Dowdle Folk Art Santa Barbara Downtown
Santa Barbara is snuggled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains on Californiaโs central coast. With a climate similar to the south of France, it is nicknamed the โAmerican Riviera.โ This laid-back community is accessed by scenic Highway 101. Mission Santa Barbara, the โQueen of the Missions,โ was founded in 1786 among the Native American Chumash-Barbareรฑo tribe. The mission-style white walls with red tile roofs of the downtown are representative of the areaโs architecture. Today the city has a population of just over 88,000 and is a favorite among the more than seven million tourists who visit each year.ย
