The Santa Clarita Artists Association will present a Summer Art Festival at Tournament Players Club in Stevenson Ranch on Friday and Saturday, Sept. 8 and 9, from 9 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The festival is free and open to the public.

On Friday evening, a free music night at the Patios will start at 6 p.m. with a live band performing for dinner patrons.

The following night, a free artists’ reception will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. featuring live entertainment, appetizers, and desserts with a no-host bar.

More than 100 pieces of art by 25 local artists will be on display at the Summer Art Festival. Artists will provide live demonstrations in a wide variety of styles and media.

“The public is invited to view the art show anytime and attend our artists’ reception,” said Zony Gordon, event coordinator. “You’re invited to look over their shoulders and ask questions. Local officials, artist members and art leaders will grace the occasion.”

Although the golf course is private to members, the restaurant is open to the public for lunch and dinner.

“The food is fabulous,” Gordon said. “People gravitate from the restaurant and golf course to see high-quality art.” TPC currently displays works by several SCAA artists, coordinated by TPC Executive Director Troy Hooper.

SCAA is in its 29th year of making visual art visible in the Santa Clarita Valley. The non-profit organization provides free art demonstrations to the public; participates in community events; awards yearly scholarships for high school art students and College of the Canyons; and loans art to local medical offices and facilities to uplift the spirits of patients.
