Buenaventura Art Association announces a “Call for Entries” for its upcoming exhibit on the ground floor of Ventura’s Community Memorial Hospital. Starting March 17, 2013, the exhibit, entitled “Just Photos II,” repeats a theme that was very popular from the art association’s series of Community Memorial exhibits in 2012.
As the name implies, “Just Photos II” is only open to photographs. There is no rule for subject or style, but photographers are cautioned to only submit works that are suitable for the family-friendly environment of the hospital. This is an open competition; Buenaventura Art Association members and non-members may enter their work.

The juror for “Just Photos II” will be Donna Granata, founder and executive director of Focus On the Masters, a Ventura non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and documenting accomplished artists who live and work in Ventura County.

Granata herself is an accomplished photographer whose many portraits of local artists have been exhibited throughout Ventura County. She is also an instructor of photography at Brooks Institute.

No more than 6 entries per artist will be accepted. Entries are only accepted electronically via the online entry system at the Association’s website, www.buenaventuragallery.org. Deadline for entries is midnight, Saturday, March 9. Details can be found on the website.

The Buenaventura Art Association owns and operates the Buenaventura Gallery, 700 E. Santa Clara St., open noon-5 p.m. Tuesdays through Fridays and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. For more information, visit the nonprofit Buenaventura Art Association’s website at www.buenaventuragallery.org.
