SUMMARY:“The Weed Project” Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us in the Martin V. & Martha K. Smith Pavilion at the Museum of Ventura County on Saturday\, June 12\, 2021 from 3—5PM for the opening reception of The Weed Project: Outlaws of the Super Bloom & Crimes We Commit in the Garden. This new exhibit by the comical and brave Charlene Spiller features thirteen botanical paintings with an ecological message. There will be refreshments and a no-host bar. Visitors will also be able to explore the new and refreshed Children’s Garden. Admission is free with registration. \nIn the macro-style paintings of The Weed Project\, Charlene Spiller draws a plumb line between art and science. She creates a new category of “bloom”\, challenging the viewer’s expectation of what constitutes beauty. All the while\, pollinating their mind with provocative thoughts about our health\, the health of our planet\, and the bottom-line of a multibillion-dollar corporation – with a multibillion-dollar legal-relief reserve – and places it all under our microscope. Deputy Director\, Denise Sindelar states\, “Ms. Spiller’s paintings highlight the beauty that exists in our fragile\, and often forgotten natural world”. \nThroughout the recent pandemic\, and our governor’s Stay-Well-At-Home Order\, Spiller has transferred to canvas a destructive environmental discovery\, healing perspectives\, and reasons to continue on\, with vigilance – literally healing herself out of hospice care and advancing steadily toward wellness. Spiller says\, “Herbicides are a dangerous game. Roundup\, which came into being in the 1970s – first used as a chemical cleaner for pipes – is now sprayed on our food crops\, almost un-checked. The Weed Project is one of providing awareness.” \nOriginally from San Francisco\, Ms. Spiller studied at the California College of the Arts\, Oakland\, and the San Francisco Art Institute. She has lived in Southern California for 25-years\, previously in the Palm Desert\, and now\, in the Hollywood Beach-area of Oxnard\, where the beach meets the fields (or the ocean meets the glyphosate). \nThe Weeds Project: “Outlaws of the Super Bloom & Crimes We Commit in the Garden” will surprise Museum visitors with its vivid lines\, vibrant palette\, pollinating parts aplenty\, and facts that just may save our lives.

SUMMARY:Designing in the Time of COVID-19
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Ventura County invites you to join us on Wednesday\, May 26\, 2021 from 6:30—7:30PM for a Zoom panel discussion on Designing in the Time of COVID-19.

Governments need to rethink the use and management of public spaces\, infrastructure and essential services and their responses are influenced by many factors — resources\, regulations\, socio-economic inequalities\, political will and public awareness. As cities rethink how to activate\, integrate and mainstream grassroot responses into their efforts\, they must also tackle the underlying stresses of inequality and inclusion as exposed by the pandemic. A tall order to fill\, but where to begin? \nMark di Cecco\, AIA East County and Chair of Moorpark General Plan Advisory Committee will be joined by Nicholas Deitch\, AIA West County and Member of Ventura General Plan Advisory Committee\, Jerffrey Lambert\, ACIP and Chief Operating Officer at the Ventura County Community Foundation\, and Lynn C. Johnson\, RLA and Principal of Lynn C. Johnson Associates. \nThis event is a joint production of the Museum of Ventura County and AIA of Ventura County.

Despite a widespread belief that Mexicans shunned physical exercise\, teamwork or “good sportsmanship\,” they proved that they could compete in a wide variety of sports at amateur\, semiprofessional\, Olympic and professional levels. Some even made their mark in the sports world by becoming the “first” Mexican athlete to reach the big leagues and win Olympic medals or world boxing and tennis titles.

SUMMARY:Local History Happy Hour with Roz McGrath
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Ventura County invites you to join us for our new bi-monthly Zoom series\, Local History Happy Hour. In this series\, local authors and historians will sit down with MVC Executive Director Elena Brokaw to discuss their unique perspectives on our region’s history\, and take questions from the audience. \nMark your calendars for Tuesday\, April 20th from 5—6PM for our first installment featuring Roz McGrath\, author of Memoir of a Feminist. A retired educator and farm manager\, Roz teaches Women’s History and explores the question of why women are still so under-represented. Her book offers a concise overview of American Women’s History through the author’s own experiences as a young feminist. Admission is free with registration. \n“The idea for Local History Happy Hour is to bring people safely together in a more casual setting\, like friends meeting at a wine bar or cocktail lounge to converse\,” MVC Deputy Director Denise Sindelar says of the new online program. “During each program\, our guest author will share their favorite cocktail and how to prepare it — a fun bonus to our participating audience.” \nWhile this program is currently virtual\, the Museum has their sights set on in-person Local History Happy Hour in the near future. “Our hope is to transition to in-person programming sometime this summer\, while following the safety guidelines set forth by the CDC and Ventura County health officials\,” explains Digital Media & Marketing Manager Jonathon McGee. \nIn May\, Elena Brokaw will interview CSUCI professor Jose Alamillo about his latest book\, Deportes: The Making of a Sporting Mexican Diaspora\, and Oxnard author and historian Jeff Maulhardt. Registration information will be available in the coming weeks for both these programs\, as well a list of upcoming Local History Happy Hour events through August 2021.
