Goleta Valley Library’s Multipurpose Room at 500 N. Fairview Avenue has been transformed into a Creek Week Art Gallery from now through October 1. Stop by during open hours to check out the 57 submissions that were received for the Second Annual Creek Week Art Contest, an increase from the 38 submissions received last year. In honor of Creek Week, coming up September 23 – 30, the Library accepted artwork submissions from all ages inspired by our creeks, watersheds, and ocean. This year’s theme is “Goleta the Goodland, Thriving Habitats.”

Goleta Mayor Paula Perotte will be judging the artwork later this month, and the winners will be announced at a reception in the Multipurpose Room on September 27 from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. A 1st, 2nd and 3rd place along with Honorable Mention will be awarded for each age category: adults (18 +), teens (7th-12th grade), and children (6th grade and below).

Creek Week Art Contest participants, along with their families and friends, and members of the community are invited to attend the free reception. We hope to see you there!

The Goleta Valley Library is open Tuesday – Thursday from 10:00 a.m. – 7:00 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m.
