The Museum of Ventura County, at 100 E. Main Street is closed for renovation until September 20, 2019. There will be a re-opening on September 20th with a massive party to launch the latest exhibit, California Cool. The opening reception, California Club, will be an exciting trip back to an era of Mid-century modernism. The era-immersive experience will feature craft cocktails, live entertainment, 1950’s inspired cuisine, period costumed actors, and much more! Tickets are available now at the early-bird rate.
Free Figure Drawing at the Museum is back in full swing. The Museum’s Artist in Resident, Ryan Carr, leads this class every 2nd Tuesday of the month from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the Pavilion. All skill levels are welcome and some instruction is provided. This is a dry medium drawing class, so we ask that attendees refrain from watercolors or paints. Although the Museum’s Research Library and Galleries are currently closed, many events/community activities are still scheduled in the Museum’s Pavilion.
