  • Beacon Coffee Company
    Beacon Coffee Company
    Coffee & Tea For the Beacon founders, John and Jennifer Wheir, coffee has always been about the experience. Delivering a world class coffee experience begins long before the first aroma of raspberry, chocolate or the multitude of other natural flavors ever hits your senses… “We are not doing great unless every stakeholder in the supply chain is doing great” Offering only the finest coffee has been a core value for John since discovering his coffee passion over 20 years ago. Working with the industry’s premiere coffee roasters allowed John to fine tune a philosophy promoting long-term sustainability while responsibly sourcing the finest coffee beans in the world. John and Jennifer seek out symbiotic relationships with small producers and Single Estate coffee farms to help ensure the transparency of Beacon’s supply chain. This transparency reinforces the trust levels that are necessary to ensure Beacon has access to the finest selection of coffee beans. Driving sustainability is not just about making sure the farm can produce coffee year after year. John and Jennifer view sustainability as a holistic approach to the coffee ecosystem. If the community surrounding the coffee farm is struggling, that will eventually impact quality and supply. Every origin trip includes time set aside to work with the farming community and evaluate community needs. In partnership with the supply chain, Beacon is able to contribute to resolving community needs, such as repairs to school buildings and structural support for improved milling operations.

  • Buenaventura Gallery
    Buenaventura Gallery
    Buenaventura Art Association (BAA) is a foundational arts organization in Ventura – a 60-year-old institution devoted to sustaining Ventura County’s cultural character and artistic resources by developing visual artists in all stages of their careers.  Four exhibition spaces – a gallery at the Bell Arts Factory, a gallery at the Ventura Harbor Village, most of the ground floor inside Community Memorial Hospital and space in EP Foster Library– give members more than 20 group exhibition and 18 solo show opportunities annually, all of which, except for two small-image shows, are juried. In addition, all of the CMH shows, as well as 2-3 other competitive shows at our galleries, are open to the public, not just members. The result is the display of between 1700 – 2000 art objects annually for the community to participate in and enjoy, with the assurance that professional artist-jurors are maintaining quality standards. Approximately 6,000 patrons visit the downtown Buenaventura Gallery every year, with another 7,000 tourists and locals visiting the Harbor Village Gallery. Countless patients, visitors, and hospital employees enjoy the Community Memorial exhibits. Other community services include bi-monthly demonstrations and workshops allowing artists to learn from each other. We open our galleries to school and youth groups, as well as adult education programs like Road Scholar (the former Elderhostel) for field trips and artist talks. Our Harbor Village Gallery offers regular artist-led arts-and-crafts days providing fun and arts education for the younger crowd. Historically, BAA has played a major role in establishing Ventura’s Downtown Cultural District and contributing to the formulation of the city’s Cultural Plan. BAA’s record of accomplishments includes sponsoring several Art in the Park programs, city-wide festivals, and community events like First Fridays Gallery Crawl and annual downtown Ventura ArtWalks. In the Harbor, member artists designed and painted a mural, contributed a public art sculpture, and even painted individual designs on the trash cans.  BAA has enjoyed community support via grants from the City of Ventura, the Ventura Visitors & Convention Bureau, the Museum of Ventura County, and the Stanley and Jessica Prescott Trust for the Arts, among others. Our members contribute thousands of volunteer hours each year to maintain our exhibits and our services. The 12 volunteer directors on our board are a diverse group with several non-artist members who lend their talents as financial analysts and small business owners.
