CELEBRATING ARTISTIC ACHIEVEMENT IN OLD TOWN NEWHALL

The City of Santa Clarita is excited to announce the successful completion of an inspiring new art project that occurred in Old Town Newhall. This inspiring project took place in a unique, yet captivating setting, a local parking lot.

The project featured a series of portraits directed by the artist Harry Gamboa Jr. The collaboration between the performers and artist not only resulted in a unique initiative, but also highlighted the cultural value that art brings to Santa Clarita.

The artist shared, “It was a cool, ephemeral moment in the parking lot to direct the performers in order to capture the many portraits. The performers and I found the experience and the exhibition to be of great cultural value. I hope that the exhibition has been a good contribution for Newhall and the overall Santa Clarita community.”

In addition to the live project, the artist has published a book featuring copies of the showcased work. These books are available for purchase online and serve as a lasting testament to the project’s success.

For more information about the exhibition or to purchase a copy of the book, please contact aeo@santaclarita.gov or visit SantaClaritaArts.com.

Presenting: Get it Together! A guide to running your creative activity like a business

When most of us think about “businesses,” images of towering corporate buildings, factory production lines, and mom-and-pop shops come to mind, but in the eyes of the government, our artistic endeavors are a business as well. Most of us didn’t go to business school, so we find the business management side of things a bit overwhelming, after all, we didn’t sign up to be a CEO… we want to be artists! Nevertheless, it’s important for us to understand the business side of things to ensure that we set ourselves up for success. In this course, we will briefly cover some concepts that are helpful to keep in mind as your business grows (without even having to open Excel): 1) Separating Your Business and Personal Assets 2) Organization, Bookkeeping, and Year End Considerations 3) Present Value of Money and Investments into Your Future 4) Different Government Organizations and Their Required Filings 5) Changing Your Relationship with Money (Avoiding the Fear and Embracing an Information-Driven Approach) You won’t walk away from this course with an MBA, but you will leave with a set of tools that will allow you to better plan for the growth of your business.
