The SCV community gears up once again for the much-awaited annual Art Classic Gala on Sunday, October 17, 1-5 P.M. at the Hart Hall in Newhall.

Celebrating its 21st anniversary this year, the Santa Clarita Artists Association is a non-profit organization composed of 150 visual artists whose main objective is to “make visual art visible” in the community and encouraging and supporting our local artists.

There will be fine entertainment, an exhibit of more than 200 judged and auctioned art pieces and wonderful rock art centerpieces, wine and food catered by Hyatt Regency Valencia.
