The “Abandoned Art Project” — organized by students and members at Newhall’s Ceramic Artists Studio Inc., or CASI — will be leaving pieces of ceramic art at random public places around Santa Clarita beginning November 6.

The art will be left for unsuspecting people to stumble upon; however, clues for those whereabouts will be posted on the “Abandoned Art SCV” Facebook page, a news release said.

“We’re going to be ‘abandoning’ for about two weeks,” Rima Raulinaitis, owner of CASI Ceramics said. “Our cut-off will probably be around November 18.”

All abandoned art pieces will be left in plain view and unwrapped, with a tag on it instructing the finder that they can choose to keep the piece of art, or leave it for another person to find, according to organizers.

“This is a fun and exciting way to connect artists with the community, and the community with art. It’s all about random acts of art,” said artist members Marlene Bernstein and Susan Grogan in a news release. “The value of gifting is huge and receiving is even more fun.”

Those who find the “abandoned art” are encouraged to post a photo on the “Abandoned Art SCV” Facebook page of what they found and where they found it.

The “Abandoned Art Project” is an independent wave of abandoning art that nobody owns and has taken off all around the United States, Raulinaitis said. Artist members Marlene Bernstein and Susan Grogan spearheaded the project with Raulinaitis.  

“We hope the community enjoys this artistic movement and appreciates the art that students and members at CASI created for them,” Raulinaitis said.
