Simple Pleasures
2026 Members’ Exhibition
Arthur Waidhofer, "Natural Bridges Eucalyptus"
Members’ Exhibition 2025
On View: Wednesday, November 18 - Friday, December 18, 2026
First Friday Reception: December 4, 5:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Celebrate the creativity of our vibrant artistic community at the Santa Cruz Art League’s annual Members’ Exhibition, featuring work by current SCAL members and open for all to enjoy.
This year’s theme, Simple Pleasures, was selected through a vote by our community. Artists are invited to reflect on the small, meaningful moments that bring joy, whether found in food shared with friends, time in nature, beloved pets, creative rituals, or the everyday beauty that surrounds us. As a Santa Cruz based organization, we especially encourage work that connects to the simple pleasures found in our local landscape and community.
