The California Scene

Presented by California Art League

On view now through Sunday, November 5

“The California Scene” is a group exhibition presented by California Art League (CAL) featuring 59 quintessential California scenes in a variety of media by 44 artist members of the long-established league. CAL was originally founded as The Valley Artists Guild in 1948 with the purpose of uniting artists in the San Fernando Valley area to form a strong fine arts community. CAL operates on the belief that when individual artists join together in creating their destinies, their growth and impact are multiplied in their own lives and throughout the world.

While we highly recommend viewing “The California Scene” in person, we hope you enjoy this abbreviated look at the exhibition in your inbox!
