Public Art
Murals
Six large-scale public art projects have been completed by ARTree in Santa Clarita since 2010. All public art pieces are executed with the help of the community.
To read more about each, see our History page.
Volunteer Program
Community Involvement
Our volunteer program has grown to include over 50 people a semester! From community members wanting to give back, to high school students needing service hours, our volunteers assist in weekly classes and help out with events.
ARTree also partners with the City of Santa Clarita's Volunteer Engagement Program.
Scholarships
Art Supplies for Home Practice
ARTree recognizes that not everyone can attend an in-person art class or participate in a free event. To provide support for those who practice art at home, we offer 2 scholarships a year, providing new, high-quality art supplies to awardees.
Bob Hernandez Founders Scholarship for youth and Michael Powell Memorial Scholarship for adults are awarded every year.
RECENT COMMUNITY ART PROJECTS
Our latest community murals were completed in the summers of 2024 and 2025.
After a call out to save bottle caps, we collected over 8,000!
Members of the community were then invited to help construct the murals, both with California themes.
Ms Raux headed up the first project with assistance from Education Chair, Sheri Carlson and Kay Kaminski led the second, with the help of Syndey Adam, Teen Librarian for the Old Town Newhall Library.
