“Our judges felt Chakur’s winning digital illustration of a dove and olive branch best captured this year’s message promoting peace and hope for the season,” said Mayor Marsha McLean.  “It was exciting working with our community’s artists to develop this year’s card and we welcome our residents to take a few moments to enjoy the submissions on display at City Hall throughout the holiday season.,”

The holiday card contest was designed to encourage community participation in the arts, while contributing to the aesthetic value of public places.  The “Peace on Earth” exhibit is one of five changing public art galleries sponsored by the City of Santa Clarita.  The other four galleries are located at Westfield Valencia Town Center.
