$5 SPAM members • $10 Non-members

Join us at the Santa Paula Art Museum on Saturday, November 11, for the premiere of “The 15th Annual Art About Agriculture Exhibition,” featuring 55 fresh works of art. “Art About Agriculture” is presented by the Ag Art Alliance to promote awareness of agriculture through art—from workers to water, from machinery to fields, to the food that goes on our plates. The exhibit will be on view from November 11, 2023, to March 3, 2024. All of the artworks will be available for purchase.

“The 15th Annual Art About Agriculture Exhibition” is sponsored by Brokaw Ranch Company.

On Saturday, November 18, enjoy a tour of “The Art of George Lockwood” exhibition with Lockwood as your guide. Learn more about Lockwood’s evolution as an artist: from a child growing up in Santa Paula who loved to doodle; to a wilderness guide in Alaska who taught himself to paint; to a full-time painter with collectors around the globe.

“The Art of George Lockwood” is on view now through January 14, 2024.

We were delighted to celebrate Día de los Muertos with nearly 250 guests this past weekend inside SPAM’s Cole Creativity Center. Thanks to a generous grant from the California Arts Council, we were honored to partner with Santa Paula artist Sergio “Checkos” Martinez to offer this free event filled with traditional art-making activities, including calaverasmasks, mini-ofrendas, paper cempazúchitl, and more.

Special thanks to our incredible event volunteers, including docent Denise Maltby, who gave our event (Monarch butterfly) wings!
