Buenaventura Art Association is a dynamic community of visual artists in all stages, united to exhibit and sell art. For the first time, membership voted to allow non-county residents to join.

We are one of the oldest artists cooperatives in the county -- the group has been around for 56 years. During that time, the association has purchased their own building where the Buenaventura Gallery is located and we currently lease space at the Ventura Harbor Village.

There is no jurying process to join our gallery -- the rules are simple: ,pay your membership fee and if your membership level requires it, volunteer!

What are the advantages of belonging to Buenaventura Art Association?

-	Bimonthly juried group shows.
-	Community exhibit spaces.
-	Solo exhibit opportunities
-	Exhibit opportunities are based on the merit of your work -- not your sales record.
-	Professional staff to assist you in your artistic growth.

If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to call the Buenaventura Gallery at 805.648.1235 or email the executive director, Emily Thompson.

There are numerous ways to support/join the gallery: as an Exhibiting artist member, a supporting member or a donor!
