Free First Sunday at Ag Museum Features Sculptures of Living Color Project

Free art activity inspired by glass sculptures of artist Dale Chihuly 

The Agriculture Museum, located at 926 Railroad Avenue, Santa Paula, will feature the Sculptures of Living Color project, Sunday, Aug. 5, with free admission all day and free art activities from noon to 2 p.m. Inspired by the Macchia glass sculptures of artist Dale Chihuly, participants will capture the colors of the landscape by using natural dyes to create their own unique sculptures that will dry to look like colorful works of transparent and opaque “glass.”

While Free First Sunday offers free admission at both the Ventura and Santa Paula museum locations, the free art activities will take place only at the Ag Museum. Free First Sunday is sponsored by Museum donor Mimi Allin and the TOLD Corporation. For more information call 805-653-0323.
