ArtWalk Ventura returns on Oct. 7-8, 2017
11 am-7 pm Saturday & Noon-5 pm Sunday
If you love art, you won't want to miss ArtWalk Ventura 2017.
And our new dates return the event to fall, when Ventura's weather is perfect.
Entering its 24th year, ArtWalk Ventura is a totally fun, virtually free, self-guided tour of dozens of galleries, studios,
pop-up venues and transformed PODS Containers in Ventura's historic Downtown and Westside Cultural District.
We are pleased to welcome Ventura College, City of Ventura, PODS Moving & Storage,
Community Memorial Hospital and Hofer Properties as title sponsors.
(You can join them!)
ArtWalk is one of Ventura's signature events, drawing thousands every year.
It is now being run by an all-volunteer group, determined to keep it fresh and festive and focused on
our authentic cultural community.
So, explore our site. Get involved. And, most of all, join us and celebrate Ventura's thriving arts community!

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. |
