SANTA PAULA ART MUSEUM

JEANETTE COLE ART CENTER & COLE CREATIVITY CENTER

One of the best things about working in the museum/non-profit sector is that we are fortunate enough to see the kindness and generosity of others demonstrated to us on a daily basis. The Santa Paula Art Museum has much to be grateful for this year, like the renovation and opening of our new Cole Creativity Center. So whether you are a student, a visitor, a featured artist, a partner, a member, a docent, or a donor, we are so thankful for YOU. Thank you for being a member of our community. You inspire us every day to deliver exhibitions, events, and experiences that matter.
