The first Santa Cruz Art League Statewide Exhibition was held in 1928. For nine decades, the Santa Cruz Art League’s California Landscape Exhibition has showcased the work of artists who depict California’s foothills, mountains, seashores, and deserts of the interior and coastal regions.

This year's juror is California based Fine Artist, Warren Chang, best known for his paintings depicting the fieldworkers of Monterey County.
