Deadline Is Jan. 7 for ArtWalks Submissions

Competition for selection as a “featured artist” at Ventura’s upcoming ArtWalks will close Jan. 7, city officials announced this week.

The ArtWalks draw as many as 10,000 visitors.

Each event showcases one featured artist, whose work will be used in promotional materials and be displayed in a daylong exhibition. Three featured artists will be selected for the events being staged next summer and fall and in the spring of 2003.
