Last weekend, the Santa Paula Art Museum was transformed into a place that we call “The Land of Light” for the second year in a row. Below are 5 things that we learned during the event, which mingled art and science with play. Scroll down to see our equally fun, upcoming classes and events.

PREMIERE PARTY

The Wall: Boundaries Between and Within Us

Saturday, October 20, 2018, from 4pm to 6pm

Admission: $10 members / $15 non-members

With the idea of a wall being built along the U.S.-Mexico border occupying much of American political discourse today, the Santa Paula Art Museum’s upcoming, original exhibition, The Wall: Boundaries Between and Within Us, will explore the nature of walls and boundaries – lines that define, surround, protect, divide, include, and exclude whether they are real or imagined, explicit or implicit. The 23 artists selected for the exhibition have each interpreted the subject in a unique way: the walls depicted are physical, historical, social, cultural, political, personal and more. In addition to the walls themselves, the artworks call into question our relationships to them – are we builders or wreckers? inside or outside? confined or liberated? The show will invite you to consider and confront the walls that shape us individually and collectively.
