SANTA PAULA, CA – The Santa Paula Art Museum is open again! The Museum and gift shop will be open regular hours: Wednesday through Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and Sunday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. Admission is $4.00 for adults, $3.00 for seniors, and free for students and members. For the safety and comfort of museum guests and volunteers, anyone inside the Museum is required to wear a face covering for the duration of their visit (per the California Department of Public Health, this excludes children age 2 years and under, and persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability that prevents wearing a face covering). Visitors must also sanitize or wash their hands immediately upon entry, and maintain 6 feet of distance between themselves and any person not in their party. Groups are limited to no more than 6 persons, and museum staff and volunteers will not be handling cash at this time (only credit or debit cards will be accepted). Santa Paula Art Museum staff and volunteers are adhering to all health screening procedures and cleaning and disinfecting protocols set forth by the County of Ventura, California Department of Public Health, and the CDC.
The Santa Paula Art Museum currently has two never-before-seen exhibitions on view: “Inspiration and Influence” featuring Ventura stone sculptor Duane Dammeyer and Ventura abstract painter Rima Muna; and “Santa Paula Sojourn,” a solo exhibition by Thousand Oaks painter Shannon Celia. All of the artworks in both exhibits are available for purchase. The Museum’s Cole Creativity Center will also host its first in-person art class of the summer beginning July 18.
