Ventura's Artwalk

posted on January 21 2008 by elCID

An eclectic mix of art, music and community

For ten years the City of Ventura Cultural Affairs Division has presented seasonal Artwalks that have attracted up to thirty thousand visitors annually to a self-guided walking tour that brings together area artists, studios, galleries, downtown merchants and visitors of all ages in a celebration of visual art.

The Artwalk spans the city’s entire Cultural District – more than ten city blocks of historic downtown Ventura – plus Ventura Avenue and celebrates the Ventura County’s vibrant professional community of artists. Over 150 Ventura County artists will display artwork at more than 70 downtown locations, including art galleries, working studios and “gallery-for-a-day” venues inside businesses and restaurants.

The day of free events also includes live outdoor musical entertainment and performances, kids’ activities, and free shuttle service to transport patrons. Live music and performances at various locations in the Downtown Cultural District will have you dancing down the sidewalk while you are looking at art.
