Weekends at the Santa Paula Art Museum are always a good idea. Just ask the nearly 200 guests who joined us for Free Family Day last Sunday! Kids made their own toys using recycled materials and got to explore and play with the wooden creations of Oxnard toymaker Gene West. Thank you to our donors, members, and volunteers for making Free Family Days possible.

Free Family Day is presented every first Sunday of the month inside SPAM’s Cole Creativity Center. Join us next month on Sunday, April 2, from 12 PM to 3 PM.
