This is a National Juried collage and assemblage exhibit. Assemblage and collage works combine two-or three-dimensional images or materials to form a completely new work. Perhaps non-art materials are used in a surprising way, or fragments of existing images are glued, formed, melted, combined, mechanized, mangled or juxtaposed to become something transformed.

The Santa Cruz Art League was founded in 1919.
The mission of the Art League is to function as an agent for the artistic experience. The Santa Cruz Art League encourages visual and performing arts in an environment that is supportive to the artist, to students, and to the community. Approximately twelve art shows are held each year, some for members, some juried, and some invitational. We hold three-hour, five- to six-week long classes and monthly weekend workshops throughout the year, as well as children's theater classes, theater productions, and monthly book readings and signings by local authors.
