For the past two years Solstice has been collaborating with this internationally acclaimed public art initiative to bring the Elephant Parade®* to Santa Barbara in 2026.  Here are some of the things we've already done together.  

 

We’re looking for 10 individuals, organizations or businesses to donate $600 (tax deductible) and distribute 10 baby elephant sculptures (Art Boxes) to their colleagues, friends, neighbors and local heroes.   It's a fun way to support Solstice, engage in hands-on participation in the arts, and bring awareness to elephant conservation. 

​​

*The Elephant Parade® is an international public art initiative which features life-sized baby elephant statues designed by artists and celebrities, which tour cities worldwide to promote art, business, tourism, community and elephant conservation.
