Since 2008, the Cambria Scarecrow Festival has celebrated whimsy and creativity each October with a magical display of scarecrows. Over that time, five photographers have been primarily responsible for the festival’s photos on its website, social media, and publications. Each has been asked to select a handful of their favorite images of the festival. All are on display during this year’s event. Discover just what a scarecrow can be.

Additionally, a limited number of other prints, photos, and merchandise will be available for sale. The exhibit will be open October 1 - 30 during Cambria Center for the Arts’ regular hours, noon to 4 pm, Tuesday through Sunday.

Please join us at the opening reception for light refreshments and wine (for sale by the glass). During the reception, 15% of any exhibit sales will be donated to the Cambria Scarecrow Festival. It should be a wonderful evening!

We’re ending 2025 with colorful squares once again!
As an artful fundraiser of sorts, our talented local artists are invited to paint or illustrate on canvases of two sizes: 8” and 12” squares.
Pricing for this show will be: $75 for 8X8s and $95 for 12X12... for the Holidays!

All pieces will be unframed, wrapped canvases with the sides painted. We're sure to have a wide variety of styles.

This November, the Cambria Center for the Arts Studio presents a multi-part exhibition of recent work by Dena Mara Kuhn, an artist working at the intersection of tradition and technology.

Exhibit Highlights:

• 3D Curious Cabinets — Sculptural boxes for jewelry, chocolate, or “phone detox,” each unique piece including an Artist Book and exploring themes of duality, memory, and mystery.

• Creators On & Beyond the Central Coast — Twelve double-sided panels inspired by Michelangelo’s The Creation of Adam, celebrating the creative lives of artists and makers.

• Still Lifes with stories — Contemporary arrangements in the spirit of Dutch Masters, paired with written vignettes and housed in custom 3D-printed frames.

This exhibition invites visitors to step into a world where craft, technology, and storytelling converge. Importantly, all stories in the show can be both read and listened to on a mobile device by scanning the accompanying QR codes, making the experience accessible and interactive.
