SCAA Celebrates: Plein Air Coordinator Meressa Naftulin Wins Prestigious Founder’s Award at MOPO!9/20/2026 We are thrilled to announce that our exceptional Plein Air Coordinator, Meressa Naftulin, has been honored with The Founder's Award at this year's prestigious Mendocino Outdoor Paint Out (MOPO).   Our SCAA plein air group recently packed up their palettes and headed over the hill to escape the late-summer heat at Marina Park in Ventura! It was a spectacular morning of creative camaraderie, fresh ocean breezes, and coastal inspiration as our artists captured the beautiful sea terraces, harbor views, and rolling surf on canvas. We are so proud of our thriving outdoor painting community and love seeing the diverse ways our members bring the California landscape to life. Check out a few snapshots from the shoreline below!

 SCAA celebrates a unique solo exhibition by our own President Pro Tem, Gallery Chair, and Event Chair, Tobi Beck. Running from September 18 through November 1, 2026, at the Canyon Theatre Guild, this exclusive showing serves as a vibrant archive retrospective, featuring a diverse array of original abstract works spanning from 2014 to 2025 – all priced accessibly under $600 – a great opportunity to collect a piece of the foundational work that brought Tobi's work to where it is today. "Smudges of My Love & Guts" Tobi’s artistic journey began in 2014 – a practice that unexpectedly carried her through a profound cancer scare only one year later.  |
