The Santa Paula Art Museum will be giving away free Art To-Go Bags on Saturday, February 20, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. The bags will be available via a drive-thru only pick up in the parking lot behind the Santa Paula Art Museum starting at 10:00 a.m. (while supplies last - limit 5 bags per family). Please enter the parking lot from 10th Street and follow the posted signs and directions from staff, and please wear a face mask.

This month’s free Art To-Go Bag celebrates Black History Month and Black artists Alma Thomas, Clementine Hunter, Jacob Lawrence, and Faith Ringgold. Using the artists’ works as inspiration, kids will get to explore a variety of projects including color field painting, daily life drawings, visual story-telling, and paper quilting! Each bag will contain all of the supplies that your kids will need like paint, brush tools, crayons, construction paper, and more.

The Museum’s monthly, free Art To-Go Bags are made possible by sponsors Brianne McGrath, Rotary Club of Santa Paula, Kai and John Blanchard, Fran and Jim Christiansen, Patti Fallini, Kathy Good, Laurence Holmer, Willa and Earl McPhail, Michael Pulliam, Santa Paula VFW Post #2043, and Dorcas Thille.
