News release 

The Acton Agua Dulce Arts Council held its annual Adult Fine Art Show at a new location this year, Picasso’s Playmates Art Studio in Acton, on Nov. 4-5. The show was open to painters, photographers, sculptors, carvers, potters and weavers in the Antelope Valley, Acton, Agua Dulce, Leona Valley and Santa Clarita. 

This was the first event put on by the new board since the previous members retired. The goal over the next few years is to rebuild the community’s connection to the arts to its vibrant level before the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This year, the Adult Fine Art Show contained an eclectic mix of art forms, including some talented new artists for whom this was their first-ever art show. AADAC board member Steve Martell donated $600 in prize money for the top three Best of Show Awards, to be placed by outside judges, and visitors on Saturday could vote for a People’s Choice Award. Board members were ineligible for the Best of Show Awards.
