The Newhall Community Center wants to brighten up empty wall space that is in need of works of art and is accepting submissions from the community, according to officials.

The City of Santa Clarita is seeking individual artists or teams to design and display an art installation at the Newhall Community Center, according to a news release.

“The Newhall Community Center and the Arts and Events Division have recently collaborated on activating a lobby space at the center bringing quality art experiences to the public,” the news release explained. “The space that is available includes ceiling and wall space.”

The longest wall surface is 38 feet wide and approximately 12 to 14 feet high, the news release explained.
A corrugated wall behind the counter is 15 feet wide and 15 feet high, the news release continued.
The side wall is 11 feet wide and 15 feet high.

“The city is seeking exhibition proposals from individuals for this space for the upcoming season of displays,” the news release stated.
Oct. 2017 was the first month that artist has been able to display their work, according to officials.

“Their artwork will be there until April, and once the artwork is removed the new artwork will be installed and displayed for six months,” Jeff Barber, arts and events supervisor said. “The deadline to submit artwork that could be put on display come April is Jan. 30.”

Paintings and other 2D work are not accepted for consideration, according to officials.

The space is open to the public, and is offered so that artist can have an opportunity to display their work tp the community, Barber concluded.
