About the Santa Paula Art Museum
The Santa Paula Art Museum is the repository and exhibition hall for the Santa Paula collection. Containing over 300 pieces, among its most famous artists are the works of the Botkes, both Jessie Arms and Cornelis. Some of the other represented plein air artists are Robert Clunie, Al Dempster, Ralph Holmes, Paul Lauritz, Emil Kosa, Jr., Douglas Shively and Milford Zornes. The valuable assemblage represents the accumulation of award winning entries in the Santa Paula Art Show which began in 1937. It remains the oldest juried show in California and the Collection is recognized as one of the finest of its kind in the state. Also featured are rotating exhibits of contemporary and local artists. Through the generous support of the Limoneira Company we occupy their historic 10th Street Building. The classic two-story structure was designed by famed local architect Roy Wilson, Sr. and was built in 1924. It was designed to accommodate Limoneira’s headquarters.
Purpose of Exhibit
The purpose of the exhibit is to emulate the first Santa Paula Art Show and to explore what in our local landscape has stayed the same since 1937 and what has changed. We may also make comparisons to works from the early years of the Santa Paula Art Show. A stipulation in the first show was that art work had to have subject matter within an 8 mile radius of Santa Paula.
Eligibility
Then and Now, A look back at the Santa Paula Art Show is open to all artists over the age of 18 working in any media. The art work must contain subject matter within an 8 mile radius of Santa Paula, which was a stipulation in the first Santa Paula Art Show. All styles of work are considered: painting, drawing, photography, sculpture, mixed media, ceramics, batik, metals, and tapestry.
Specifications
Artists may enter a maximum of 3 works. Work should not exceed 150 pounds and the size limit is 36” x 48”. Wall hung work must be framed and ready for hanging. Works on paper should be glazed. The Santa Paula Art Museum reserves the right at all times to exclude any work that presents complex exhibition challenges. Only work not previously shown in at the Santa Paula Art Museum will be considered.
