Art Stop Project

On October 3 and 4, 2009, the Santa Clarita Festival of the Arts, sponsored by Lockheed Federal Credit Union, will highlight a spectrum of artistic talent in Old Town Newhall.  This exciting free outdoor festival will be located along Main Street between Lyons Avenue and 5th Street.  All weekend long patrons can watch street painters, visual, digital, and multimedia artists create works of art, from a beginning conception to the final masterpiece.

Artists using a variety of medium including photography, paint, multimedia, etc. are encouraged to submit existing or new works based on the theme, “Watch Art! Create Art!
