The City of Santa Clarita is pleased to present its latest juried art exhibition, “Color Expressions,” on view at the Newhall Community Center (22421 Market Street, Newhall, CA 91321) from October 1 through December 16, 2025. This vibrant showcase invites guests to experience the ways artists harness color to spark emotion, reflect culture, and connect with others through creative expression. “Color Expressions” highlights the many dimensions of color in art—whether through bright, bold palettes that radiate joy and energy, symbolic hues tied to identity and tradition, emotional tones that recall memory or mood, or the use of color as a universal visual language. Through diverse media and approaches, the exhibition reveals how artists transform color into storytelling and meaning.
Among the featured artists is Emmett Ferguson, who describes his work as a personal documentary that runs parallel to his near-stream-of-consciousness livestreams. “My paintings reflect my slice of life,” he explains. “I think of my artwork in tandem with my livestreams as a personal documentary of the creative process rather than my paintings reflecting specific concepts.”
Also featured is Don Dao, whose practice examines the hidden patterns of growth and decay in the natural world. Blending experimental printmaking with sculptural installations, Dao creates collagraph plates from recycled materials and uses viscosity printing techniques to explore ecological rhythms. His work reveals the delicate balance between human impact, environmental cycles, and the passage of time.
The exhibiting artists include: Daryl Bibicoff, Susanlee Bozman, Janine Cooper Ayres, Don Dao, Alexandra DeFranco, Emmett Ferguson, Meghann Flaherty, James Frost, Donna J. Goldstein, Meryl Goudey, Ruben Hernandez, Keiji Ichikawa, Claire Jagels, Jayme Sun Thomas, Taylor Thomas, Emilía Turner, and Stephen Wilson. The featured photo is “Afternoon at the Getty” by artist Emmett Ferguson.
