“We are very proud of the long history Ventura Unified, and our community has of supporting the arts in our schools.

A special thank you to award winners Madison Jewel Lonis, Cassidy Nettles and Amanda Hilf, as well as VUSD Board President Sabrena Rodriguez.

VUSD offers an incredible array of Arts education, beginning in elementary school with curriculum-aligned art instruction for all students. This continues in its middle and high schools where students explore a variety of artistic mediums, diverse artistic styles, art history, contemporary and classical artists, as well as ceramics and digital photography. The caliber of these student artists is a testament to the investment our community has made into preserving and expanding Arts education.

The show is made possible through the efforts of the Ventura Arts Collaborative, a cooperative program of Ventura Unified School District, the City of Ventura, Ventura Education Partnership and the Museum of Ventura County. “The Museum of Ventura County is proud to collaborate with and support VUSD and VEP in their ongoing efforts to elevate the arts in the lives of Ventura youth. These young artists deserve to have their work displayed for all to enjoy,” stated Denise Sindelar, Museum Programs Director.
