The eighth annual Ventura Art & Street Painting Festival took place on September 10th and 11th at the Ventura Harbor. Forty four artists showed their work on the harbor lawn, while street painters created colorful chalk pastel paintings on the sidewalks. A children’s chalk area gave children a chance to create chalk art too. The festival is produced by Ventura County Art Events, Inc., which donated a share of the proceeds to FOOD Share Inc. and Kids’ Arts, Inc.
