From the Aristides Demetrios bio website:
In 2002, Mr. Demetrios won the "Santa Barbara Beautiful Award" for the most beautiful work of public art; the award recognized Mr. Demetrios for the design and fabrication of the 18' bronze fountain, "Mentors". The fountain was donated to the campus by Eli Luria and Michael Towbes, two revered Santa Barbara philanthropists.
