SANTA PAULA, CA – To celebrate the Santa Paula Art Museum’s Douglas Shively Retrospective, the Museum will host Shively: A Show and Tell Event on Sunday, April 29, 2012 at 4 p.m. The Museum invites you to show Shively paintings from your personal collection, tell stories about the artist, or simply share your love for Douglas Shively with fellow collectors and enthusiasts. The cost of admission to the event is $5.00 for Museum members and $10.00 for non-members.

“The Douglas Shively Retrospective exhibit at the Museum features nearly one hundred of the artist’s paintings as well as sketchbooks and other memorabilia, but Shively was so popular that there are many more of his works in local private collections,” said Museum Director Jennifer Heighton, “This event is a unique opportunity for collectors to show their favorite Shively paintings and mingle with other fans.” Refreshments will also be served during the event.

The Museum is located at 117 North 10th Street, Santa Paula, CA 93060. Reservations for the event are recommended but not required. The Douglas Shively Retrospective exhibit is open now through June 17, 2012. The Museum’s regular hours are Wednesday – Saturday, 10 AM – 4 PM, and Sundays, 12 PM – 4 PM.
