Canyon Country Community Center, 18410 Sierra Hwy, Santa Clarita, CA 91351

The City of Santa Clarita is pleased to present “Flowing into Familiar” by Olga Shiller, on view now through July 29, 2026 at the Canyon Country Community Center (18410 Sierra Hwy). This exhibition features richly textured acrylic and oil works that balance expressive movement with recognizable subjects, inviting viewers into a visual experience where abstraction and representation meet.

Through thick, layered surfaces and dynamic brushwork, Shiller creates compositions that feel both energetic and grounded. Rough, high-contrast textures create stimulation and visual rhythm, while smoother passages offer focus and breath. Blurred horizons and partially rendered figures drift in and out of focus, suggesting landscapes and portraits that are at once external observations and internal weather. The work asks how memory thickens, how nostalgia takes on texture and how the act of looking is never separate from the act of feeling.

Born in Siberia, Olga Shiller is a multidisciplinary artist whose work draws from global influences and personal experience. Her practice blends techniques of the old masters with contemporary approaches, using oil and acrylic painting as well as photography to explore themes of nature, memory and the human condition. Through her work, Shiller creates a dialogue between tradition and expression, inviting viewers to engage with both the physical and emotional layers of each piece.

March 25, 2026 – June 24, 2026

The City of Santa Clarita is pleased to present its latest art exhibition, “Dreamscapes,” on display at the Newhall Community Center (22421 Market Street) now through June 24, 2026. This juried exhibition explores the imaginative, surreal and subconscious worlds, inviting viewers into dreamlike environments shaped by memory, emotion and fantasy. From ethereal scenes and abstract visions to symbolic narratives and altered realities, “Dreamscapes” blurs the line between the real and the imagined while celebrating creativity without boundaries.

Among the featured artists is Taia Akulova, whose work reflects a deeply introspective and psychological approach to painting. “My work moves between abstraction and form, translating inner experience into visual language,” Akulova shares. “The paintings unfold like dreamscapes. Spaces where reality softens, time dissolves, and identity becomes fluid,” she explains. Rather than offering escape, Akulova invites viewers into an intimate encounter with inner worlds shaped by intuition, vulnerability and imagination. The featured photo is “Delicate Vibrations” by Taia Akulova.

The exhibiting artists include: Faye Abharian, John H Adkins, Taia Akulova, Georgette Arison, Elizabeth Chislett, John Cowan, Meghann Flaherty, Tim Song Jones, Allison Lauricella, Julia Markovich, Susan Magine, Katie McGuire, Mark Micchio, Jane Mick, Madeline Peng Miller, Danny Muñoz, Justin Poole, Alex Selkowitz, Jayme Sun Thomas, Zuri Timmons, and Stuart Vaughan.
