The Santa Paula Art Museum will celebrate 16 years of art, community, and creativity with a Plein Air Anniversary Party on Saturday, April 18, from 4 to 6 p.m. The event will take place on the outdoor patio
at Parque 1055 in downtown Santa Paula.
This special anniversary celebration will honor longtime supporters — the Shively, Clark, and Gunderson families — with the 2026 Mary Alice Orcutt Henderson Visionary Award in recognition of their generosity and dedication in supporting the Museum’s mission and programs.
Guests will enjoy an evening of art and entertainment featuring delicious hors d’oeuvres and handcrafted cocktails catered by Parque 1055. The event will also showcase live painting demonstrations by talented teaching artists from the Museum’s Cole Creativity Center. Attendees will have the opportunity to bid on these original works during a silent auction, with all proceeds supporting arts education and community programming at the Santa Paula Art Museum.
“The Santa Paula Art Museum exists because of Special celebration planned for 16th anniversary of Santa Paula Art Museum Douglas Shively’s vision and commitment to the arts in Santa Paula, beginning in the 1930s,” said SPAM Executive Director Jennifer Heighton. “His family has carried that legacy forward
with extraordinary generosity, enriching both our museum and the wider community in countless
ways. It is truly an honor to recognize and celebrate their lasting contributions.”
