The City of Santa Clarita is pleased to present the return of “Beyond the Desk,” on display in the First Floor Gallery at City Hall (23920 Valencia Boulevard) now through November 18, 2026. Now in its second year, this juried exhibition showcases the artistic talents of City employees and their families, celebrating the creativity, passion and imagination that flourish beyond the workplace. The community is invited to a special art reception on Thursday, September 3, from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. at City Hall, offering an opportunity to meet participating artists and experience the exhibition firsthand.
Unlike a traditional themed exhibition, “Beyond the Desk” invited participants to submit artwork on any subject, encouraging artists to express themselves freely through the mediums, styles and stories that inspire them most. From painting and photography to sculpture and mixed media, the exhibition showcases a remarkable range of artistic expression. Together, the works offer a unique glimpse into the passions, hobbies and personal perspectives of the employees and families who help serve the Santa Clarita community every day.
The exhibiting artists include: Sydney Adam, Jared Anderson, Michele Arima, Ryan Babroff, Samantha Babroff, Joel Bareng, Deziray Barreras, Madelyn Blaha, McKenzie Bright, Kara Brutz, Nicholas Brutz, Stacie Chavez, Johnny De La Mora, Mike Franke, Carol French, Monica Gonzalez, Dyana Gutierrez, Masis Hagobian, Jocelyn Lagunas, Cindy Lu, Carrie Lujan, Micah Maxey, Andy Olson, Maria Padilla, Ava Perkins, Michelle Perez, Natalie Perez, Christine Phachanh, Macie Potter, Lara Ray, Joe Redmond, Frankie Rios, Diana Rodriguez, Deacon Roth, JoDee Roth, Pinar Sayim, Jennifer Shadle, Tess Sigmen, Alessandra Sinlao, Brian Springer, Alan Stump, Darlene Stump, Elle Thompson, Harper Thompson, Sean Tonoian, Priscilla Trana, Gabby Vera, Angelica Wasowicz, Karolina Wasowicz.
