Outside the Frame was a temporary art installation in parks across Santa Cruz County designed to offer safe, free, accessible, inspiring activities during the pandemic and beyond. The installation is now removed, but YOU can see them all below! Our Silent Auction and Celebration raised $10,000 for scholarships and equity programming
“Throughout the pandemic, people across Santa Cruz County have looked to the outdoors for respite, health and joy. We invite our community outside to celebrate healthy new beginnings with a series of Art Hikes in Parks across the community. We will come through this experience stronger, together.” Jeff Gaffney, Director ~ Santa Cruz County Parks Department
"The pandemic has affected all of us; now we can all begin to heal and grow. The four Mayors have joined up to create a first-of-its-kind experience of healing and positivity for people across Santa Cruz County. We are one community, moving into a new, better normal." ~ Mayors Brooks, Dutra, Meyers and Timm ~
