Who runs ArtWalk?
We are a committee of local volunteers. As facilitators, our goal is to empower Ventura’s vibrant arts community to unite through one weekend of coordinated events. Together we offer entertainment, bring in cultural tourists and generate revenue during this multi-day event.

How do I register as an artist?
This year, we are doing things a little differently and are only registering venues. If you would like to participate as an artist, you will need to find or start a participating venue. If you need help starting or getting connected to a venue, please fill out the form on our contact page and we will do our best to help.
