Santa Barbara Beautiful 2015 Awards

At the 2015 Santa Barbara Beautiful Annual Awards Gala, PMSM Architect was honored with the Santa Barbara Historic Revitalization Award for our work on The New Vic Theatre.  Santa Barbara Beautiful is an organization of volunteers dedicated to beautifying our area in a variety of ways not only by working independently but also by partnering with city departments, neighborhood associations and other agencies. Formed in 1965 by concerned civic leaders, Santa Barbara Beautiful is a non-political, non-profit, tax-exempt corporation. The organization provides funds to support and assist community groups and businesses in beautifying Santa Barbara through landscaping, and public art and recognizes outstanding contributions in those areas through its annual awards presentation each September. This year the Santa Barbara Beautiful celebrates their 50th year of beautification.
