SANTA PAULA, CA – The Santa Paula Art Museum will host a Free Family Day on Saturday, June 6, 2015 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm. Artists of all ages are invited to join us in a free hands-on art making workshop to coincide with the Melody Hall Music Festival at the nearby California Oil Museum.

The workshop will be free and fun for the whole family!
