Happy almost February! February is our anniversary month at the Santa Paula Art Museum (we’ll celebrate 15 years on Valentine’s Day). We think you’ll love our program offerings in the month ahead. Bring the whole family to make Valentine’s Day keepsakes on February 2. Register you and your Valentine or Galentine for a wheel-throwing ceramics course starting February 14. Hear more about currently featured artist Joanne Julian and her love of art on February 22. Find the details for all of our February programs below.

Free Family Day

Sunday, February 2, 2025 • 12 PM to 3 PM

Our love language at the Santa Paula Art Museum is quality time and handmade gifts, and we’ll be enjoying plenty of both during our February Free Family Day. Drop by our Cole Creativity Center to make Valentine’s Day cards and keepsakes, air-dry clay heart pendants, and more. Admission is free, all are welcome, and all supplies are provided. Admission to our current exhibitions is also free on the first Sunday of every month.

Saturday, February 22, 2025 • 2 PM to 3 PM

Sit down with LA/Oxnard artist Joanne Julian as she discusses her long career in the arts and her current exhibition, “Nature’s Spirits.” Learn how Julian utilizes acrylic, graphite, ink, and Prismacolor pencil to create artworks that combine realistic images of natural forms with spontaneous brushwork in the Japanese Zen “splashed-ink” style. “Nature’s Spirits” is on view now through March 9, 2025.
