The Community Tide begins local art and poetry round up

CARPINTERIA, CA — The Community Tide (Tide) was created to be a place to find and organize local and online resources for the cities of Ventura, Carpinteria, and Santa Barbara. The website’s creator, Sabaitide, says that she browsed too much news and media and still could not find a less confusing place to find helpful information, and so her solution was to create her own website to make help easier to find, in both English and Spanish.

The Community Tide makes it easy to find valuable local resources for disaster relief, mental health, safety, and much more. Now, on the more creative side, the Tide is beginning to organize a monthly art and poetry round up in effort to find and organize local creative work, not just community resources. When describing her vision for the Tide, Sabaitide says, “I feel like helpful resources will always be somewhere on the internet, but art and poetry is what's always current, changing, and constantly being created. There’s a lot of creative work that I haven’t seen yet, and that’s what I really want to find and organize for my community.” 

The theme for the first monthly art and poetry round up is water, or ‘Welcome to the Tide,’ and for the creative prompt, Sabaitide asks her community, “Does being from an ocean community make you feel connected to nature or others?” For more information on how to share your creative work on the Tide and for the full 2022-2023 theme calendar, please check the Tide for yourself at www.thecommunitytide.com.
