Art creates community. That’s our mantra at the Santa Paula Art Museum. We believe that art strengthens our community by providing opportunities for self-expression, connection, learning, and joy. Occupying two beautifully renovated, historic buildings in the heart of downtown Santa Paula, California, the Santa Paula Art Museum features rotating exhibitions of historic and contemporary art, art classes for children and adults, Free Family Days, creative community events, a well-curated gift shop, and more.
