“Cityscapes and Streetscapes” Juried Exhibition
The City of Santa Clarita (City) is inviting artists to submit artwork for consideration for our upcoming “Cityscapes and Streetscapes” juried exhibition, which will be on view at the First Floor Gallery in Santa Clarita’s City Hall. We are seeking original artwork in any medium that explores the dynamic and evolving narrative of urban landscapes and the intricate streets that weave through them. Artwork should capture the essence of city life in its myriad forms – from quiet street corners to bustling populated streets. This is an opportunity to contribute to a visually compelling narrative that speaks not just to the aesthetics of cityscapes and streetscapes, but also to the human experiences and stories they encompass.
