The Elements of Light & Color
An Exhibition at the Margaret Thatcher Galleria, Hillcrest Center for the Arts
Presented by the Arts Council of the Conejo Valley.
The Arts Council of the Conejo Valley invites you to experience the elements of Light & Color, a vibrant new exhibition celebrating the transformative power of light and the full spectrum of human expression. On view from March 27 through May 26, 2026, this showcase brings together fifteen talented local artists whose works span painting, drawing, and mixed media — each offering a unique perspective on how light shapes form and color breathes life into art.
From sweeping California landscapes to bold abstract compositions, intimate botanicals to dramatic architectural visions, Light & Color presents a stunning range of styles united by a shared fascination with the visual world. Whether you're a lifelong art lover or discovering the Conejo Valley arts community for the first time, this exhibition offers something to move, inspire, and delight.
