Thank you.

Thank you for supporting the Santa Paula Art Museum. Thank you for making moments like the one captured above possible. This year, SPAM donors, members and volunteers enabled us to reopen our doors after nearly a year of pandemic closures. You’ve empowered our education team to continue to serve the children in our community with thousands of free take-home art bags, classroom kits, virtual resources, and more. During a challenging year, you allowed the Museum to offer our community much-needed opportunities for creativity, connection, learning, and joy. Thank you.

The Santa Paula Art Museum will be closed on Thanksgiving (Thursday, November 25), but will be otherwise open as usual.
