Plein Air in Plain Sight – The Legacy of Santa Cruz Nature Painting
- This event has passed.
Santa Cruz has been an outdoor painting hotspot since the 1890’s, well-known across the nation as a destination for exploring art while surrounded by nature. In fact, the Seabright Community in particular has been an artistic hub for plein air painters for over a hundred years and continues to have a robust presence even today.
Join Kathleen Aston, the Museum’s Collections Manager, as she opens the vault to spotlight rare art from the Museum’s historic archives and Taylor Seamount, a local plein air artist trailblazing the contemporary nature painting movement. You won’t want to miss experiencing this living timeline of Santa Cruz’s art scene.
Light refreshments will be served prior to the start of the program.
Class Fee: $11 – Museum Members receive a special discounted price applied at checkout.
Instructors: Kathleen Aston, Collections Manager at the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, & Taylor Seamount, local artist/activist/instructor
