700 East Santa Clara Street
Ventura, CA 805/648-1235
Duane Dammeyer
"Eclectic Stone"
May 24-June 18
"Eclectic Stone" is a celebration of the diverse nature of Dammeyer's stone sculptures and of the many sources that inspire his work. Expect to see multiple types and colors of stone, each revealing the artist's vision of the image within. "Eclectic Stone" will showcase realistic, stylized and abstract sculptures: forms inspired by humans and animals and forms reflecting the organic and fluid curves and textures found in nature. More.  Coming Soon! Karen L. Brown "Journey" June 21-July 16, 2011 Reception: Sat. June 25, 4-7 pm
First Fridays Gallery Crawl
Friday, July 1, 5-8pm
JOUR-NEY [jurnee] (noun): 1. trip somewhere; 2. process of development, "a spiritual journey". The inspiration for Brown's new work is a story, brought to life in a limited edition art book, and written by her. It describes a scene that typifies human journeys. According to Brown, "I am enticed to convey in images my dreams and life journeys. I use printmaking in all its forms to illustrate and explore these scenes." Brown is known for the simplicity and depth in the fine art printmaking she creates. In this collection she includes narrative factors with symbolism connecting the imagined or real paths we take on our journeys. This is her second solo show with Buenaventura Art Association.  First Friday Gallery CrawlJune 3, 2011 - 5-8 pm
The Buenaventura Gallery will be open late to welcome you. Come see our latest group and solo exhibits. (click here for a gallery map.)

AT THE HARBOR VILLAGE GALLERY
1591 Spinnaker Drive
Ventura Harbor Village (next to the big lawn)
Ventura, CA 805/644-2750
Jeff Zatlin "A Matter of Time" May 18-June 27 Opening Reception: Friday, May 20, 5-8 pm Jeff Zatlin's paintings explore the human element of change: how change happens, how we react to it, and how our human nature remains constant throughout a lifetime of unexpected, unplanned, and sometimes unwanted innovation that is either happening or is bound to happen. More Coming Soon!   Kitty McGinnis & Nancy Hodge "Cowgirls, Horses & Landscapes ... Oh My!" June 29 - August 8, 2011 Artists' Reception: Friday, July 8, 5 - 8 pm The philosophy for the Dual Show was to combine Nancy's interest in women, horses, and Native Americans with Kitty's studies of western landscapes and to share them with friends old and new for their enjoyment. Kitty feels amazed, nourished and rebalanced after walking with her camera in these landscapes and hopes to share those feelings with her photographs. Nancy uses humor and whimsical images to remind viewers of people they know and how the art work relates to them, hopefully putting a smile on their faces. At the Artisan Store in June Featured Artisan: Mary Kolada Scott
Mary Kolada Scott is a writer and artist who captures simple images that may be overlooked. She creates poetry broadsides, linocut block prints, delicate watercolors, and bold acrylic paintings that celebrate the small, daily joys that enrich our lives.
