Ventura is known as one of the most creative communities in Southern California. It's time to focus on the magic that brought many artists and entertainers to our area. ArtWalk is back! This family-friendly event Sept. 23-24 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. will feature hundreds of artists in local galleries and creative collaboratives in businesses and other unique spaces. Large art installations, music, poetry, dance and theater will all be a part of this event run by a new and enthusiastic all-volunteer team.
Ventura’s long-running and popular arts event took a break during the pandemic and is back, better and larger than ever. Because of the great interest from the arts community, organizers decided on a two-day event to give participants extra time to see all the venues. The route starts near Cemetery Park, travels down Main Street and up Ventura Avenue, encompassing the Library’s Topping Room, City Hall, the Crowne Plaza, Ventura Mission, Museum of Ventura County, Vita Art Center, Working Artists Ventura, Bell Arts Factory and Art City. In between are numerous galleries and businesses featuring local artists and musicians. Two-day pop-up galleries along the route will feature even more artists.
The event is also focusing on performing arts. Two stages, the Main Street Stage Downtown and the City Hall Atrium, will feature some of the area’s top performers. Highlights will include aerial acrobatics from The Aerial Studio, a performance from the Ventura County Ballet, and sets from local favorite bands Shaky Feelin and the Heavy Hitters. The Rubicon Theatre Company will entertain at City Hall. A third stage by Mission Park will feature performance art.
Live painting, pottery demonstrations and large art installations will also be featured.
A map of the entire ArtWalk route Is available here. Transportation will be provided free to ArtWalk by Gold Coast Transit. Parking areas are also clearly mapped out.
See you there!
