Santa Paula Art Museum — Holiday Market on Dec. 2, other family events

Happy Thanksgiving from the Santa Paula Art Museum! We are so thankful for our incredible community of donors, members, artists, sponsors, advisors, and volunteers who empower us to cultivate art, learning, and joy in Santa Paula and beyond.

There is more happening at the Museum than ever before, and we are particularly excited about all of the new and expanded programs taking shape inside SPAM’s Cole Creativity Center. We hope you’ll take a moment to enjoy our video update on all of the progress you’ve helped the Museum to achieve in recent months.

And we hope you’ll join us for any or all of our final events of the year listed below.
