Living in Santa Barbara - How Acme Hospitality Redefined Santa Barbara's Funk Zone with Sherry Villanueva
It’s more than just the Funk Zone—it’s a story of vision, creativity, and community transformation.
In Part 1 of our series on the dynamic Funk Zone in Santa Barbara, we sit down with Sherry Villanueva, founder and managing partner of Acme Hospitality. Discover how Acme took an underutilized area of Santa Barbara and turned it into a thriving destination for arts, culture, and connection. Sherry takes us through the beginnings of this now-famous neighborhood, Acme's mission to create a unique culinary and social destination, the creation of the iconic restaurant The Lark, and the development of other beloved spots that have defined both the Funk Zone and Acme Hospitality.
Tune in for an episode filled with inspiring insights into Acme's success story and their commitment to community, excellence, integrity, originality, and hospitality.
