Savanna Birchfield is a 2021 graduate of California State University, Northridge

Despite the fact that most of the state has been shut down, California State University Chancellor Joseph Castro announced that most CSU campuses will be back up and running by fall. However, a large percentage of the classes will be virtual. This means that students and teachers are adapting to virtual instruction. The California State University system has been offering virtual classes for almost a year.

While the state has not yet been reopened, Governor Gavin Newsom has made it clear that his administration has no intention of slowing down. His administration has also enlisted the aid of a coalition of lawmakers to encourage K-12 schools to get back on their feet. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) has released some details on the reopening of schools.

A new exhibit at the Santa Clarita Artists Association Gallery in Newhall is called “Little Gems”

Among the plethora of art galleries in Santa Clarita, the Santa Clarita Artists Association Gallery stands out. The gallery offers paintings and sculptures of all shapes and sizes, from large to small, at affordable prices. They also host several educational seminars and workshops for artists of all skill levels. In addition to art, the gallery features a wide array of antique and collectible cars and motorcycles. The gallery is also the place to go for a variety of small works of art, such as paintings under 12 inches, that are not quite as big as they sound.

There are many reasons to visit this gallery, but one of the most appealing is the fact that the artists themselves are highly qualified, and are willing to share their knowledge with the public. Aside from the art gallery, the association is also involved with several other organizations, such as the Santa Clarita Chamber of Commerce and the Santa Clarita Community Center. The association is also a great resource for anyone looking to obtain a position on a city commission.
