This year the Santa Clarita Artists Association will hold their 30th Anniversary at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in their Grand Ballroom on Friday, November 1st.
Over 60 of our members will be displaying their new work along with other art displays and a silent auction. This is a scholarship fund raiser to support Santa Clarita graduating seniors to continue their education in fine arts. Last May winners were from Hart, West Ranch and Canyon High Schools. These winners will show their work at the Art Classic. 2019 Scholarship Winners awarded by Santa Clarita Artists Association First Place $1,000 Julia Aquina Hart High School Second Place $750 Lauren Franco, West Ranch High School Third Place $500 Deja Cavalleri, Canyon High School The free day's events will feature an oil painting demonstration by Art Classic Judge Julie Snyder. When asked to judge, she remarked "The Santa Clarita Artists Association has 'great artists' I will be glad to judge." She is a world traveled oil painter, who was born and raised in Scotland. She was encouraged to pursue an art career by her artist mother and writer-father. Then went on to study drawing and painting in the Glasgow School of Art. Her travels have taken her throughout Europe and won the "Gold Medal" at the National Museum of Sports in London. Now she lives in France part time where she has a permanent studio. She spends the winter in Los Angeles giving workshops and painting. The next demo is by Gary Friedman, 2018 Best of Show winner and noted for his loose watercolors. Then Ted Dayton will speak about "Creative Photography" followed by Micah Kritzman on "Creative Websites". Lastly Judy Corfino will demo a floral bouquet which will be given away as a door prize. |

Where Do You Find Inspiration?
Thursday, November 21, 2019 - 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm The MAIN – 24266 Main Street, Santa Clarita, Santa Clarita, CA 91321 Where do you find inspiration? There are many different answers to this question. All art begins with an idea, whether it is clear cut or simply just a feeling. Some artists are inspired by external influences around them such as travel, people or nature, while others are inspired by internal influences of the heart and emotions. Join us for this informal discussion where we will talk about how you develop an idea, where you get inspiration, as well as how you decide what you want to create, or what you want to say. |
