Retail Meets Fine Art: SCAA Debuts Expanded Public Art Windows Installation at Valencia Town Center

SCAA Artist, Karina Medina, at the Valencia Town Center Mall display

The Santa Clarita Artists Association is absolutely thrilled to celebrate our ongoing, high-profile corporate public art partnership with the management team at the Valencia Town Center! In a major victory for local visibility, SCAA has successfully transformed five prominent, street-level retail display storefront windows into a vibrant, rotating public pop-up fine art museum.

Located on the bustling lower level conveniently situated right outside the Macy’s courtyard entrance, this continuous public installation brings high-end, original member artwork directly into the community’s daily path. It creates an active, inspiring street-side gallery for thousands of weekly shoppers, families, and dining patrons.

• Exhibition Venue: Valencia Town Center Retail Windows, Lower Level near Macy's, Santa Clarita, CA 91355
• Exhibition Run: On continuous public display, rotating throughout the 2026 calendar year
• Admission: Completely free and open to the general public daily during all standard mall operating hours

A High-End Retail Aesthetic & Frictionless Smartphone Purchasing
This innovative storefront installation is a spectacular example of modern public art architecture. To maintain a pristine, sophisticated, and high-end gallery aesthetic, no traditional paperwork, clutter, or price tags are posted inside the windows. Instead, each individual display window features a custom, high-contrast QR code that passersby can instantly scan with their smartphones.

Scanning the code launches a secure, hidden online portal on our website, allowing local art lovers to immediately get in touch with our coordinator to inquire about works and collecting on the spot! It is a seamless fusion of local culture and modern technology that makes collecting fine art more accessible than ever.
