Ventura Art & Street Painting – What’s Happening Seaside:
The Ventura Art & Street Painting Festival at Ventura Harbor Village gives visitors an opportunity to enjoy art, street painting, and the beauty of the Ventura County coast.
“Ventura Art & Street Painting Festival provides festival-goers with a rare chance to see the artists working outside of their studio,” said Barbara Hinton, Executive Director of the Ventura Art & Street Painting Festival. “The street painters are working in real time right before your very eyes,” she added.
Artists will be showcasing their work in the artist’s vendor festival near the Fisherman’s Memorial between popular waterfront restaurants Andria’s Seafood Restaurant & Market and Brophy Bros Clam Bar & Restaurant. The vendor art booths include original paintings, pottery, photography and jewelry — all available for purchase. Additionally, the sidewalks along the art festival and the Village Promenade will be the canvas for colorful street painters, who will be creating chalk pastel murals ranging from approximately 10×5 ft. to 10×10 ft. in size. The chalk paintings are a highlight of the festival and will remain up for visitors to view for weeks. (weather pending). Admission & parking are free.
Children can join in and create their own art as well in the Children’s Chalk Area, operated by The Boys and Girls Club of Ventura County. For $10 kids get a small box of chalk and a sidewalk square where they can create their own colorful work of art.
