Artist Talks
Come to our artists talks to gain unique perspective on our exhibits from many of the artists themselves, and further your own artistic reasoning in the process!
The Santa Cruz Art League is proud to facilitate artist talks as a part of many of our exhibits. We believe that sharing in ideas and expression is integral to our artists community, and we endeavor to create as many opportunities to do so as possible.
