Santa Paula Art Museum — Santa Happens to Be Our First Name

Art creates community.

We were reminded recently of this iconic image from the Museum’s 2011 exhibition A Taste of History, which celebrated the art of the fruit crate label. It inspired us to embrace our inner Santa in developing the Museum’s December offerings!
