About the Santa Paula Art Museum
The Santa Paula Art Museum, Jeanette Cole Art Center was established as a not-for-profit organization with a mission to preserve and share Santa Paula's artistic heritage including the famous Santa Paula Art Collection; and to educate and engage the community through collection, exhibition, interpretation, programming and outreach.
The Museum is located in the historic Limoneira Building at 117 North Tenth Street in downtown Santa Paula. It is next to the established City of Santa Paula's California Oil Museum, located in the original Victorian headquarters of the Union Oil Company of California which was founded here in 1890.
Purpose of the De Colores Exhibit
The De Colores Art Show in Santa Paula is one its proudest achievements. Founded by Xavier Montes, the exhibit celebrates Mexican American heritage, history, and icons.
Its inclusive theme enables artists to showcase art work that reflect both traditional and contemporary themes. In its 19th year, the exhibit is a local favorite as it serves to enrich community knowledge and showcase Mexican American traditions, legacy and culture.
