 The Havana To Ventura Mural Project. Image Credit: MB Hanrahan. Didn't make it out to ArtWalk Ventura yesterday during the much needed rain? No need to worry- we are ramping up for day 2 as we speak and there is still plenty to offer. Kicking off at 12 PM and going until 5 PM, the forecast calls for 78° and partly cloudy skies- perfect for perusing the streets of Ventura to check our local arts scene. Expect to find all of the PODS Galleries and venues on pretty much the same schedule as yesterday. There are several events that are exclusive for today, so make sure to check the the list of all ArtWalk venues for more specifics. Pro Tip: Early is better today, as the rain might creep back this evening. Pro Tip 2: DO NOT MISS the "Havana To Ventura" mural collaboration between Pedro Pulido and MB Hanrahan at 50 W.

Two months later, the plans were approved. Construction began immediately. But as the dreams of the Revolution came face-to-face with the hard realities of sustaining it, construction soon halted. The architects and their radical designs were seen as elitist by the Ministry of Construction, a serious liability in the prevailing political atmosphere. "Unfinished Spaces" chronicles this fascinating history through the return to Cuba, forty years later, of the three exiled designers, hoping to complete their unrealized dream. Visiting Cuba artist Pedro Pulido & Cuban historian Victor Pina Tabio also will attend. Q&A will follow. Food Truck, Beer and Wine available for purchase in Museum Courtyard.
