Judging this year artist:
Ginny Speirs
Oils

"Still life has been a popular subject for most of my time as an artist from the trompe l'oeil painting on furniture and walls to the boards and canvases I paint today. Travels in Italy and France, inspired my central theme of produce and flora. Since moving to Santa Barbara more than 21 years ago, I've been inspired by the area's organic objects just outside my studio door and at our local farmer's market. I strive for the magnified view of a vegetable, fruit or succulent; pointing out the exquisite details in the lines, forms and colors. I portray a 'portrait' of each of my subjects: chickens, cows and hummingbirds. Painting the beauty of the somewhat mundane object in an inspiring challenge. Everything that I paint continues to live in my oil painting," said Speirs.

Presents
The 31st Annual Virtual Art Classic

This year the Santa Clarita Artists Association is holding its 31st Annual Art Classic as a "Virtual" experience due to these extraordinary times of Social Distancing, and not being able to hold a public event due to Covid-19 pandemic. We wanted to continue the traditions of this annual event. So through modern technology we are able to host the virtual event. 

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

Santa Clarita Artist Association is bring to the  public a unique virtual show so that all will be able to view all of the artwork right here on our website! The Virtual Awards Ceremony that will be held on Saturday, October 17, 2020 from 7:00-8:30 pm. via Zoom.

The evening of the "Virtual" Art Classic Awards Ceremony will be hosted by members of the SCAA Board announcing the recipients of the awards for all the art categories and the "Huff Perpetual Award" and "Outstanding Service Award" for their contributions to SCAA. The City of Santa Clarita will also present their prestigious "City Excellence Award".

This event is normally a 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.
