City of Santa Clarita Press Release

“Animal Kingdom” at the Newhall Community Center

A Celebration of Animals, Nature and Connection

The City of Santa Clarita is pleased to present its latest art exhibition, Animal Kingdom, on display at the Newhall Community Center (22421 Market Street) now through August 26. This exhibition celebrates the diversity, beauty and significance of animals, while inviting viewers to explore everything from wildlife and beloved companions to symbolic and imaginative interpretations. Through photography, painting and mixed media, the exhibition reflects the relationships between humans, animals and the natural world.

Among the many featured artists in this exhibit is Jerry Cowart, an award-winning photographer and photographic artist whose work captures fleeting moments of beauty and meaning. “Through my photography, I tell many stories,” Cowart shares. “I hope you enjoy my stories and, in some way, they touch your heart.” His images reflect a lifelong passion for observing the world through a camera lens and preserving moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. Through patience, curiosity and a deep appreciation for nature, Cowart’s work encourages viewers to slow down, embrace the present and recognize the beauty that surrounds them. The featured photo is “Snow Geese at Sunset” by Jerry Cowart.
