The show is curated by WAV resident artist Sarah Kalvin and will mark the thirteenth anniversary of the opening of the WAV in 2010. WAV is an innovative community that includes 55 live/ work spaces for artists, writers, musicians and other mediums.
Besides the children’s art the First Friday opening included numerous local vendors with their arts and crafts for sale in the gallery’s courtyard.
There was also live music.
“While once viewed as the controversial new addition to
Ventura’s growing downtown cultural district, Venturans have come to eagerly anticipate the next display of WAV artists individualism,” noted Sarah Kalvin.
WAV (Working Artists Ventura) is located at 175 S. Ventura Avenue.
