From the College of the Canyons classrooms to the city of Santa Clarita, there are plenty of ways to participate in and appreciate the art community.
There is no better place to do both things than in the town of New Hall, where the arts are mainly expressed inside this building.
The Santa Clarita Arts Association hosts different art galleries and events yearly.
Their most recent gallery event, “Things with Wings,” featured all kinds of art that loves to take flight.
For artists like Kristen Belladi, expressing oneself through painting is universally appreciated in any community,
“Coming out here, it’s a different feeling, it’s a little more homegrown,” said Belladi. “People are so different in their styles, and I really love seeing that.”
“I just absolutely love and am inspired by this group of people out here,” said Belladi.
Even the Santa Clarita Artists Association president, Naomi Young, opens up about her journey.
“Finding a creative outlet belonging to this association allows me to be a part of a group of other artists, and it’s wonderful because we get to show our art,” said Young.
“I was born in Jerusalem, Israel. Times were tough for us, so I did not have any art materials, but I guess in my soul, I always loved art,” said Young.
Not only can you show off your own unique sense of style in any art form of your choosing, but the association also hosts a plethora of community events and art classes that can help you paint your pictures into a thousand words.
