Eco-ArtWalk Events Mark Earth Day
In commemoration of Earth Day, downtown Ventura will host an Eco-ArtWalk on Saturday.
The event, from 6 to 10 p.m., is a self-guided tour through galleries, coffeehouses, museums and exhibits focusing on environmentally conscious artists and featuring environmentally minded or recycled materials.
Nearly 50 downtown galleries, museums and artist studios will be on the tour, with artists demonstrating their work in some venues.
Downtown at the Mini Park, in the 300 block of Main Street, eco-minded businesses and organizations will display educational materials. The Celtic Crossover, a four-piece ensemble, will perform tunes with an Irish flair.
On the Avenue, there will be a daylong arts and crafts show emphasizing the creative use of recycled and natural materials to form functional furnishings. The show will be held at the Avenue Adult Center, 550 N. Ventura Ave.
There will be arts and crafts workshops between 6 and 9 p.m. at the corner of Santa Clara and California streets.
Los Angeles artist David Orozco, currently featured in the Oakland Museum exhibition “Hello Again: A New Wave of Recycled Art and Design,” will hold a workshop on how to make Dreamscapes.
