Art and music patrons are in for a big treat on Sunday, March 29, 2009, from 2-6 PM as the annual benefit of the Santa Clarita Creative Guild unfolds at the Grand Ballroom of the Hyatt Valencia entitled, Love is in the Air at the Hyatt Valencia. This year’s spring event promises to be even bigger with more fine artists participating! There will be a “Public Choice Awards” for the three top choices.
A lot of community energy is being infused from all angles to make the event a great success. Another big treat for the patrons will be the much-awaited Love concert from the “Back on Track” local music group with their farewell performance before they leave for their Asian tour in spring. The threesome of Gary Friedman, Bary Lederman, & Mary Courtney will serenade art patrons with their jazz, folk, and contemporary songs, while local duo of Sheila Colby and Dezzi Rae Marshall belt out their broadway and popular tunes. Refreshments will be served, with a no-host bar.
The Art Show will feature paintings, sculptures, arts/craft, and other forms of visual art. While the exhibit is going on, three outstanding local artists, Lorelle Miller, Laura Wambsgans and Romeo Downer will feature a live artist exhibition. On the other side of the ballroom is a Youth Art Exhibit for our budding artists, to be presented by Mission Renaissance. Not to be outdone is the much-awaited yearly Silent Auction featuring art and non-art items.
The event will benefit various Art Enrichment Programs of the Guild, geared for the SCV Youth and the SCV Senior Center. Likewise, another objective is to be able to promote local artists in the community. Many of the participating artists are members of the Santa Clarita Artists Association, who is a sponsor of the event.Tickets are now on sale at $25 (prepaid) and $40 at the door.

The City of Santa Clarita has big bucks to spend on a public art project at the entrance to Canyon Country Park. Arts and Events office staff are hoping to take an unsightly, boring plot and make it just slightly more sightly through the commission of a $30,000 piece of art. The proposed site sits next to a very plain stretch of Soledad Canyon Road, which parallels Highway 14, and while the work would be fairly visible to passing motorists, it would rarely be viewed up close by the public.
Artists must use the funds to design, fabricate, transport and install the work. Spread the word - the application deadline is March 16th. Find the PDF here.
The College of the Canyons Art Gallery is presenting an exhibition of colorful abstract paintings by Sam Francis. This is a big show for a community college gallery, you should go.

Now Playing at the Canyon Theatre Guild is a show that makes all the kids scream. And some grown-ups, too. Disney’s popular “High School Musical” movie has found it’s way to the stage in Downtown Newhall’s Arts and Theatre District in the making, and the guild has shared some great photos of the production.

The City of Santa Clarita is thinking about the visual and performing arts, and wants to know what you have to say. Jeff Barber from the City’s Arts and Events office is holding two upcoming sessions dubbed “Art Tank” to ask the following question of all who care to answer it, and to help form a vision for local arts: How can the public in the SCV become interested and intrigued by art? There have been three previous meetings geared toward the same topic, but new and fresh perspectives are sought. The next meeting will be held at City Hall in Suite 100A on Tuesday, February 10th from 6:30 - 8:30pm; another will be hosted during the daytime-ish hours of 4:30 - 6pm on February 18th, this time in Orchard room A. Mark your calendar and tell your friends. Light refreshments will be served to counter the heavy art talk. For more information, call Jeff at (661) 286-4078.
