Clothesline Art Sale

April 12, 2026
3:00 pm - 6:00 pm

Beautiful artwork from local artists - at sale prices!

We’re bringing back a SCAL tradition, with a fresh twist!

Inspired by the original "clothesline sales" that funded our property and the cinderblock building we call home today, this fundraiser celebrates the enduring spirit of our local artists. While the historic sales were held outdoors, this modern version will take place inside the SCAL gallery and classroom. We are proud to feature a curated selection of donated pieces, including large collections of works by beloved SCAL member and instructor, Richard Bennett, as well as admired Santa Cruz artist Gloria Alford, generously donated posthumously by their families.

Join us to help these artworks find new homes across the county and beyond. Your support ensures the continued existence of SCAL’s programming and our mission to serve the local creative community!

If you (or someone you know) have loved artwork/s which your space has outgrown, we would be thrilled to accept your donation. Please reach out to us at admin@scal.org. The drop-off date for donations is April 11, 12:00 - 5:00 p.m.
