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.
