SANTA PAULA — Join us for Free Family Day at the Santa Paula Art Museum on the first Sunday of every month from 12:00pm to 3:00pm. In addition to enjoying our current exhibits, you’ll experience hands-on art activities for the whole family, with local artists sharing new ideas and projects each month. On Sunday, July 7 we’ll be exploring “Color in Motion” as we celebrate local artist Sam Grasso’s beautiful mobile that hangs inside the Museum’s Cole Creativity Center. Visitors will be able to create their own mobile and take part in a collaborative art project led by teaching artist Lisa Ann Mahony. Have fun and make your own works of art while you make memories with friends and family! Admission is free for everyone and all materials will be provided.
Plus, the Santa Paula Art Museum’s Free Family Days coincide with Free First Sundays at all of Santa Paula’s museums. Santa Paula’s four museums are all located along a one-mile stretch of the city’s historic downtown, and all four museums offer free admission on the first Sunday of every month. Make a day of it and visit the Santa Paula Art Museum, the Agriculture Museum, the Aviation Museum of Santa Paula, and the California Oil Museum for free! Hours and activities will vary by location, so be sure to check each museum’s website for full details.
