Santa Clarita Augmented Reality App is an innovative augmented reality (AR) app, revolutionizing the way art enthusiasts experience and engage with art. The City recognizes the growing importance of digital platforms in the art world and has created a unique and accessible way for individuals to engage with art. The Santa Clarita Arts app is designed to cater to both seasoned art enthusiasts and newcomers, making art appreciation an enjoyable and educational experience for all.
Artist Drake Arnold was invited to create a site-specific proposal that considered the connection to the historical elements of Old Town Newhall to tell stories and create a dialogue that represents the premiere Arts and Entertainment District. The proposal consists of a series of ten conceptual, digital art installations using augmented reality, in the forms of both virtual 3D and 2D. Arnold studied Music Composition at College of Central Florida and later earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Digital Art from the University of Tampa.
Available for download on the App Store for iPhone users (city.sc/artAR-apple) and the Google Play Store for Android users (city.sc/artAR-android) or by searching “Santa Clarita Arts,” the Santa Clarita Arts app acts as a guide through Old Town Newhall, pinpointing different pieces of art to view through your phone at different locations. The map will show the user each art piece’s location, with an “Art Radar” to lead the way.
