Presents
The 32nd Annual Art Classic

Come celebrate with us as this year the Santa Clarita Artists Association is holding its 32nd Annual Art Classic Live at Valencia Mercedes Benz, observing the current COVID protocols. Artwork will be open for viewing to the public from noon to 4:00 pm that day, with an awards ceremony at 4:00pm

Our members will be exhibiting their original artwork in nine different categories. 

The Art Classic Awards Ceremony will be hosted by members of the SCAA Board announcing the recipients of the awards for all the art categories. The City of Santa Clarita will also present their prestigious "City Excellence Award".

This event is our fundraiser for SCAA scholarship fund to support Santa Clarita graduating high school seniors continuing their education in fine arts.  Unfortunately, we will not have our silent or live auction due to hardships that business have endured through the pandemic that would usually contribute. If you would like to donate privately, or know a business that is able to support, please contact SCAA. We will try to have a raffle for any donations that we may get to help support SCAA.

For more information, call Nancy Gallardo at (661) 400-1014 or Co-Chairperson Maxxyne President at (661) 430-1577 or email [email protected]

Santa Clarita Artist Association are honored to welcome Art Classic 2021Judges Anette Power and Matt McKim

Anette Power

Award-winning Artist Anette Power grew up on an island off the east coast of Sweden.  Nature abounded and creativity was encouraged, and that passion is what later brought Anette to the States.  After a decade working in the Animation Industry as a background painter, Power embarked on a career as a full-time artist. From watercolor to pastel, oil, and most recently acrylics, Anette enjoys painting both on location – en plein air, as well as experimenting in the studio. 

Her recent solo exhibition at the Santa Paula Art Museum, Silver Linings – Journey of Light aptly focused on what brings light through life's ups and downs.  “Art brings me joy and helps me focus on the beauty in life and I hope to share that with others”, Anette says.  Power is an artist member of the California Art Club and has been an active board member of the Westlake Village Art Guild for eight years. She is grateful to have garnered some “Best of Show” awards among other awards in recent years.  Anette maintains a working studio in Newbury Park, California.
