Join us for a historic First Friday reception! This summer marks the 94th year of the Santa Cruz Art League’s California Landscape Exhibition, a tradition almost as old as the Art League itself.

Featuring artists from all over the state, the California Landscape Exhibition celebrates the beauty, diversity, and majesty of California. This historic exhibition was first held in 1928 and for nine decades has showcased the work of artists who depict California’s foothills, mountains, seashores, and deserts of the interior and coastal regions. Come celebrate the beauty of our home state and the talent of its artists!

We encourage artists and art-lovers across Santa Cruz to attend this reception to view the incredible artwork on display, meet many of the artists, and hear the announcement of the winners of this juried exhibition. Admission to this event is 100% free and we will be serving free refreshments!
