In order to keep an event that has been around 15 years innovative and exciting and continue to attract participatns and patrons it is time to give ArtWalk a makeover.
The Cultural Affairs Division desires to compete with other large regional art events that are once or twice a year with more resources.
We want to draw patrons from outside communities and continue the goal of making Ventura "California's New Art City.
On a limited budget ArtWalk has continuted to grow in size. In order to maximize the impact of our resources and marketing efforts we are reformatting ArtWalk to a twice annual event.
So... what's involved in the new format?
- Community art workshops culminating in a parade
- Temporary Public Art Installations
- After Parties
- Widespread Marketing
How will the vision be accomplished?
- Creation of ArtWalk Board and Committes to assist with promotions, operations, recruitment of volunteers and sponsorships
- Further develop existing partnerships with local arts organizations
- Marketing to outside communities
- Working collaboratively with the Downtown Ventura Organization
- Working together!
