On Thursday, April 28, 2022, join Ventura artist John Robertson inside the Santa Paula Art Museum’s Cole Creativity Center, and watch as the self-taught artist paints one of his famous, large-scale landscape paintings! The demonstration will begin at 2:00 p.m., and admission to the event is FREE for everyone. Reservations are not required.

John Robertson is best known for his sports art, but has worked on a variety of commercial projects, including movies and television. After coming across some of his large-scale paintings, FOX Sports network hired John to create work for a national television campaign advertising the NBA. The network hired him again to create work for an MLB All-Star Game. The high-visibility of those two projects resulted in Robertson being sought out by private and commercial clients for sports and other art projects. John has created art for arenas and stadiums belong to the NBA’s Golden State Warriors, Milwaukee Bucks, Orlando Magic, and New Jersey Nets; the NFL’s Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, and San Francisco 49ers; the MLB’s Atlanta Braves; and the NHL’s New Jersey Devils.
