ARTWALK VENTURA 2017 GLOBAL ARTIST OF DISTINCTION: SHAMSIA HASSANIWe are honored and excited to welcome the esteemed artist Shamsia Hassani from Kabul, Afghanistan as our visiting Global Artist of Distinction. A graffiti artist, Shamsia often paints women in Burqas/women in symbolic shapes, and fishes, symbols of the atmosphere flowing around her and her own life experiences. She is the first female graffiti artist and first 3D street art artist of Afghanistan and uses her art to help bring positive changes to people and more specifically to wash away the depressing memories of long-time war having taken place in her country. She will exhibit at Vita Art Center during ArtWalk 2017. To buy tickets for the opening reception at Vita on Oct. 5, go here. Join Shamsia at a women's luncheon on Oct. 15. Buy tickets here.
