Unique Downtown Ventura Gallery Event Allows Artists to “Perform” Live
By Anonymous — Monday, June 6th, 2011
Ten Ventura County artists will produce complete works in just two hours as part of a unique event entitled “Art in Two,” June 11, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at the Buenaventura Art Association Gallery in Ventura. The works will feature a variety of styles, including landscapes, seascapes, Plein Air, impressionism and realism in mixed media, water colors and oil. Each piece will progress from initiation to completion while onlookers watch, and then will be auctioned off to those in attendance. The event is being organized by the gallery to benefit the Brain Injury Center of Ventura County, a non-profit organization serving people with brain injuries and their families to help them lead better lives. All of the artists are donating their works to the cause. Featured artists include some of the most prominent painters in the region, including Gloria Rubio, Christine Leong, Georgia Lee Scarlott, Tassia Erickson, Paulo Ruvalcaba, Kitty McGinnis, Thomas Pratley, Jackie Urband, Michelle Baggenstoss and Brent Hanson. Reservations can be made by calling event organizers Stephanie Garman and Holly White at 805.650.6980, or by calling the Brain Injury Center at 805.482.1312. They can also be ordered online at www.BrainInjuryCenter.org. The cost is $50 per person and includes wine and refreshments. Attendance is limited to 100 people. |
