Chris: I had to make an unexpected trip to Phoenix this weekend...but things are happening with the "Ventura Community State Bank" presents the Ventura Plein Air Invitational. Artists are bringing their work to both:
Gallery V at 540 E Main St. in Ventura
and
DA Davidson in Ventura.
Gallery V will be part of "Arts and Eats" tonight, so check out the new exhibit. In addition, Norm Kirk has an opening at Fox Fine Jewelry..both galleries are very close to each other and easy to see two great shows.
Anyhoo.....back to the "Ventura Community State Bank" presents the Ventura Plein Air Invitational, I received a copy of this poster of Anette Power...the featured artist for the Ventura Artwalk at Gallery V. Doesn't she look fabulous?
The "Ventura Community State Bank" presents the Ventura Plein Air Invitational is part of the Ventura Artwalk which runs Saturday, October 1 through Sunday, Oct. 2.
One exciting event we will be having before Artwalk officially opens is a:
QuickDraw
Oct. 2 from 9 am - 11 am
Artists will be painting "plein air" outside Gallery V and scattered around the area in Ventura. What is a QuickDraw? Well I'm not sure how QuickDraw's got the name since it's usually painters...but anyway, we have 2 hours to complete a painting from start to finish.
The public is invited to watch, buy and vote! (Hey, that sounds like a slogan...)
The finished works will be available for sale and judging by you -- the public through 2 pm on Sunday, Oct. 2 at Gallery V. The artist who gets the most votes wins a fabulous prize. (And those of you that vote have the opportunity to win a a great gift basket donated by Aaron Brothers in Ventura!)
If you remember, in the last blog, I was telling you how Kathy Ikerd is always painting while she's camping. Well what appeared on my Facebook feed? Kathy's painting at her campsite.
See her work and all the artists of The "Ventura Community State Bank" presents the Ventura Plein Air Invitational now through Oct. 24 at Gallery V and DA Davidson.
Again, thanks to our sponsors: Aaron Brothers, Buenaventura Art Association, Dick Blick Art Materials , DA Davidson, Foster Donuts on Main, Gonzalez Framing, Holistic Healing Center, Island Packers, Mr. & Mrs. Artist, and Staples Ventura.
And a special thanks to our juror for the competition, David Gallup!

- And...as a little aside. George and Debbie at Fox Fine Jewelry are not only strong advocates for the arts, but George is a gifts jeweler. (And Debbie has the discerning eye.) I brought in a ring that I had lost a diamond in. Debbie looked at the ring and showed me how it had been designed WITHOUT prongs on two sides of the diamond. Needless to say, I was a little upset. However, George "remodeled" my ring and I'm a happy customers. And full disclosure -- I don't receive any funds from them for saying this, I just truly like their store.
