New ARTree Mural in Newhall

“Take a drive down Railroad Avenue in Newhall and it’ll be hard to miss.” Thirteen faces, 17 feet high and 130 feet long. It is the second in what’s planned to be a series of art projects to pop up in Santa Clarita. “You might recognize some of these kids around your neighborhood, and they’re not from some model agency or somewhere.” This is the latest ARTree project, inspired by a former tagger-turned-popular European artist who goes by the name of J.R.. His work can be seen throughout the world today.

We are so proud of the ARTree for this exciting and unique art project. This is one that Newhall will remember, and not just because of its size, but certainly because it made a lot of kids feel special, and it gave them a sense of pride and ownership. Bravo ARTree!

The ARTree is Santa Clarita’s newest community arts organization.  It’s made up of artists, performers, musicians, teachers, writers and community leaders.  Their mission is to create a home where art, in all its forms, can thrive and inspire. To learn more about The ARTree and how you can get involved, visit www.theARTree.org.

Art Pilots Expo

Another season of Art Pilots is coming to an end. As tradition would have it, we’ve exposed all of the children’s art in the L-Shape gallery of CalArts. In honor of the kids, parents and family were welcome to this event. This is a wonderful way to reward those little artists, and recognize their hard work and dedication to the arts. Thank you all for your attendance and your support.

A New Bud In The ARTree

Géraldine will lend a hand and offer her artistic skills to help promote the arts among children in our community. The ARTree is an organization that offers a healthy nurturing creative environment for artists of all ages. They are leaders in providing a clear vision of the importance of arts in the Santa Clarita community and lives.

Arts Pilots In The Parks

Despite the cold and menacing clouds, a number of people came to visit our booth at the Santa Clarita’s Literacy and Arts Festival, Saturday Nov. 4th. Three students from CalArts and Géraldine exposed pictures from the kids of Newhall Elementary School. They explained the principles of Art Pilots, how they teach art and interact with the kids, and how this is benefiting them tremendously. Art Pilots is going strong, and everyone’s enthusiasm is very rewarding.

Santa Clarita Festival Of The Arts Video

During the Santa Clarita Festival of the Arts weekend, Géraldine took pictures every 10-15 minutes from her stand. She built this peaceful time-lapse video that depicts the variety of people that came to see us.

Migrate Photos In The Santa Clarita Valley

Today, we are very excited to see them at random bus stops throughout the city. Titled “Morning” and “Oh The Place You’ll Go”, those photos are two of our very favorite work. So look around! you might see them for yourself.

Migrate Design is honored to have been chosen by the city of Santa Clarita, to help promote the Street Art Festival.

The city of Santa Clarita Arts and Events Office (AEO) and the Santa Clarita Arts Commission sought to commission ten artworks to express the theme “A Fresh Look“. Migrate Design submitted two photos for the Art Stop Project, and both were selected! So keep an eye out for them in bus shelters around town.
