Theatre is not the only way to have fun at The MAIN. If you’re looking for an interactive way to actively explore Old Town Newhall, look no further. With the Santa Clarita Arts Augmented Reality App, you can explore Old Town Newhall through a new interactive lens that revolves around art!
In a similar fashion to Pokemon Go! the Augmented Reality Arts App acts as a guide through Old Town Newhall, pinpointing different pieces of art to view through your phone at different locations. The map will show the user each art piece’s location, with an “Art Radar” to lead the way.
Artist Drake Arnold was invited to create a site-specific proposal that considered the connection to the historical elements of Old Town Newhall to tell stories and create a dialogue that represents the premiere Arts and Entertainment District.
Some of the art pieces include a “William S. Hart Memorial Statue,” “Dyson Sphere” and an “Active Avocado” where users can choose different stretches and exercises with this digital workout partner.
Hint: Look for one right in front of The MAIN!
After exploring Old Town Newhall, make your way to Honu Coffee for a drink from their wide assortment of hot and cold beverages!
