The City of Santa Clarita is inviting current students and alumni of California Institute of the Arts to submit artwork for consideration in the upcoming "CalArts Showcase" juried exhibition, which will be on view at the First Floor Gallery in City Hall from November 2026 through February 2027. This exhibition highlights the innovative voices and creative excellence of CalArts artists, showcasing work across a wide range of disciplines and artistic approaches. From experimental practices and conceptual explorations to refined traditional techniques, "CalArts Showcase" celebrates the school's legacy of pushing creative boundaries. All mediums are welcome, including but not limited to photography, painting, sculpture, and mixed media. Artists are invited to submit works that reflect their artistic identity, process, and vision. The exhibition offers a platform for emerging and established artists to share their work with the community while highlighting the impact of arts education on contemporary culture. NOTE: This exhibition will be the City's first to feature handmade three-dimensional artwork displayed in a secured glass display case located beneath the main entrance signage at City Hall. Submitted works must be fully handcrafted and fit within the display case interior (45.9″ L × 15″ W × 32.4″ H). With fixed glass shelves in place, individual artworks may be up to 10.5 inches tall. Each shelf supports up to 44 lbs.
