Join Us for a Special Presentation at the Santa Cruz Art League! Experience the extraordinary beauty and diversity of the Golden State through the eyes of acclaimed artists. First held in 1928, the Santa Cruz Art League’s 95th Annual Statewide California Landscape Exhibition showcases a remarkable collection of works depicting California’s rugged coastlines, towering mountains, sunlit deserts, rolling foothills, and other breathtaking landscapes.

The Santa Cruz Art League gallery staff will provide an engaging presentation about the history of this long-running exhibition, discuss selected works of art, and answer questions during a Q&A session. Following the presentation, we will explore the gallery together using our smart glasses or other preferred apps or devices, giving everyone the opportunity to experience the exhibition independently. If you are arranging transportation or using a ride service, please schedule your return pickup for 2:30 p.m. or later to allow plenty of time to enjoy both the presentation and the exhibition. You are welcome to remain and enjoy the gallery until it closes at 5:00 p.m.
