Attention All Artists in Santa Cruz County
This year’s County Fair will include a special art contest to go along with the Fair’s theme, “Coming Together.” Each community in our county has its own special flavors, culture and occupations. The exhibit, titled “Portraits of Santa Cruz County,” will reflect the artist’s idea of our county and what makes it unique.
Images can be landscapes, portraits, or other images of life that personify our county to you. They may be created in pencil, oil, watercolor, or mixed media. The work must be 8”x10” and must be matted or framed and ready to hang. Prizes will be awarded for work that best captures the theme of the exhibit.
