    The California Art Club will unveil more than 60 works of art that showcase captivating imagery of California’s diverse topography with the exhibition Golden State Splendor, on view at the Santa Paula Art Museum from July 15, 2017 to November 5, 2017. A reception with the exhibiting artists will be held on Saturday, July 15, from 4 to 6 p.m. Admission to the reception is $15 for non-members, or $10 for members of the Museum or the Club.

    The four-month display spotlights the artwork of 55 contemporary-traditional artists, who present a variety of subjects to visually tell the story of the state’s natural beauty and diverse neighborhoods. The imagery includes awe-inspiring seascapes, sweeping landscapes as well as famous and not-so-famous structures.

    “We are delighted to return to the Santa Paula Art Museum with Golden State Splendor, which features   many outstanding works that continue the California Art Club’s long history of documenting the California experience in paintings and sculpture,” says Cathy Crowser, chief operating officer for the historic fine arts organization that was founded in 1909. “It is the perfect follow-up to our previous collaboration with the Museum – the 2014 exhibition Quintessential California,” she adds.

    During the exhibition, the California Art Club will present two educational programs at the Santa Paula Art Museum that will enable art enthusiasts to meet exhibiting artists and learn more about classical art forms. On Thursday, August 10, Dan Schultz will provide a demonstration on landscape painting, as he also describes developing an artistic style. On Thursday, September 14, Steven Curry will conduct a gallery talk on “Beyond the Aesthetic,” sharing how the California landscape has inspired his creative process. Both programs will begin at 3 p.m. and are free with Museum admission.

    All of the exhibiting artists are members of the California Art Club.

    About the Santa Paula Art Museum

    The Santa Paula Art Museum, Jeanette Cole Art Center (www.santapaulaartmuseum.org), was established as a not-for-profit organization with a mission to preserve and share Santa Paula’s artistic heritage, including the famous Santa Paula Art Collection, and to educate and engage the community through collection, exhibition, interpretation, programming and outreach. The Museum is, in part, the repository and exhibition hall for the Santa Paula Art Collection. The valuable assemblage represents the accumulation of award-winning entries in the Santa Paula Art Show, which began in 1937.
