Happy Valentine’s Day to You, and Happy Birthday to the Santa Paula Art Museum!
The Santa Paula Art Museum opened its doors on February 14, 2010, and turns 9-years-old today. It has been a very exciting and meaningful 9 years, and we are so grateful for everything that our supporters have helped us to accomplish. We’re sending you, our #SPAMFam, major museum love today! During the past 9 years, your support has allowed us to produce 60 original exhibitions featuring nearly 3,000 works of art by over 900 artists. With our free ArtSPARK school tour program for schools, we’ve welcomed over 13,000 students to the Museum. In summer 2018, the Museum grew to include a second building, our Cole Creativity Center, which has already hosted 33 art classes for children, teens and adults.
Thank you for helping us to achieve all of this and more.

Three of the most significant female artists working in our local landscape have joined forces for an extraordinary, upcoming exhibition entitled Common Ground at the Santa Paula Art Museum. Artists Meredith Brooks Abbott, Susan Petty, and Gail Pidduck find common ground in the love they have for their ranches and gardens – scenes that they have put to paint (and graphite) for this show. The show will open with a premiere party on Saturday, March 2, 2019, from 4:00pm to 6:00pm. All of the works in the exhibition will be for sale. Common Ground will be on view March 2, 2019 through July 7, 2019. Admission to the premiere party is $10.00 for museum members and $15.00 for non-members.
