The city of Santa Clarita is inviting artists to submit artwork for the "Animal Kingdom" juried exhibition, which will be on view at the Newhall Community Center from June 24 through August 26. The submission deadline is Sunday, June 7. The exhibition celebrates the diversity and beauty of animals, accepting all mediums including painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, textiles, and mixed media. Artists must hand-deliver their properly wired artwork, with a maximum size of 40" x 50" and weight of 20 pounds. Submissions are accepted via an online form, and artists will be notified of results two to three days after the deadline.
This call for entries matters because it provides a local platform for artists to engage with a thematic exhibition focused on the human-animal connection, fostering community participation in the visual arts. It also highlights the role of municipal arts programming in Santa Clarita, offering accessible exhibition opportunities for emerging and established artists in the region.
