Through the Community Art Wall, The City of Santa Clarita in partnership with the Westfield Valencia Town Center, offers an opportunity for the five Santa Clarita Valley school districts to display their students’ art.  The art displayed this month offers a variety of styles and techniques from the nine Sulphur Springs School District’s community schools. Currently, the Community Wall consists of artwork from nine local schools:

Canyon Springs Community School
Fair Oaks Community School
Golden Oak Community School
Leona Cox Community School
Mint Canyon Community School
Mitchell Community School
Pinetree Community School
Sulphur Springs Community School
Valley View Community School

The Santa Clarita Artists’ Association Gallery is hosting an exhibit of fine art by the members of the association.  Native Identity represents your roots, your heritage and your pride in who you and your loved ones are. The gallery is currently closed, but is available by appointment only. Art is available for purchase. Contact Ckay@ckayart.com.

Artists were asked to submit work that has been created or inspired by the current quarantine, isolation and ongoing social distancing. This includes, but is not limited to paintings, drawings, printmaking, photography and textiles.

The Youth Arts Showcase that was scheduled in March unfortunately had to be cancelled. The annual YAS celebrates the creativity of Santa Clarita Valley’s youth from Kindergarten through High School. The art contest gives students an opportunity to submit their art to be displayed, and although the show in March did not happen, we have created this virtual gallery for students, parents, family and the community to enjoy. There is also a planned exhibition at Westfield Valencia Town Center sometime later this year.

Solo show by Liang Zhang

As I am interested in combing organism and the precise grid system together and the effects of these systems on individuals. I found that the format is not limited to three dimensional objects, but also the flatter appearance as we can see on screen and paper. And that brings up a question to me of how to transform and simplify a stereo idea into a highly concentrated surface – make a communicational efficient media to address a goal and atmosphere. I aspire to make a charge and exert influence on people’s outlook with the help of my works, as artists put into effect their innovative ideas that have substantial impact on the society.

I put most of my vigor on making sculptures and installations, which addresses issues related to the strict regulations and the softness of nature in contemporary society. This series of work is aimed to transform and simplify a stereo idea into a highly concentrated surface.
