The 661Arts Free Photo Booth was present at the Festival of the Arts in downtown Newhall, and caught some very small and very big kids showing of their posing skills. Enjoy these.
Everyone loved Bella Via – Bella Via was great! The Newhall Land and Farming Company created the event as a marketing tool for Valencia 1n 1999, and in doing so pumped this community full of creative spirit and energy. They shut down Town Center Drive and turned the street into an explosion of color and shape, joy and beauty. The visual artists loved it, the kids loved it, and the public loved it. Newhall Land loved it, but killed it because… well, it’s complicated. They got the pictures and the publicity, but did not get the national sponsorship required to continue the costly festival. There were four good years, though, and when Bella Via went away it was sorely missed. Enter the City of Santa Clarita. After many complaints, the City made the decision to bring the street painting festival back to life in the form of the Santa Clarita Street Art Festival in 2005.
