The Museum of Ventura County Debuts New Art Exhibit: Arte Para la Gente: The Collected Works of Margaret Garcia

Opening reception on November 13, 2021, from 2-4pm

Who: The Museum of Ventura County, made possible in part by the support of The Port of Hueneme and Lazer Broadcasting.

When: Arte Para la Gente: The Collected Works of Margaret Garcia, opens November 11, 2021, and will be available for viewing until Spring 2022.

An Opening Reception for Arte Para la Gente: The Collected Works of Margaret Garcia, will be held on November 13, 2021, from 2:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. at the Museum of Ventura County. Guests are encouraged to join and view the exhibit in the Museum’s Huntsinger Gallery, watch a special Sage Smudging Ceremony performed by Dr. Roberto Vargas and participate in an exhibit catalogue signing by Margaret Garcia.

What: Opening today, November 11, 2021, The Museum of Ventura County welcomes guests to Arte Para la Gente: The Collected Works of Margaret Garcia, a retrospective exhibit exploring artist Margaret Garcia, and her works that take museum-goers on an encapsulating journey of culture, family, landscapes, and urban life.

For the past 40 years, Garcia has been an advocate and leader for marginalized members of society, through her leadership in the L.A. Chicano Art Movement and championing her community. Garcia has influenced and encouraged artists to challenge their talents and find their individuality through their work. Self-reflection and expressing one’s authentic self are recurring themes amongst Garcia’s artistic students. Many of Garcia’s recent pieces were painted in Ventura County and are on display for the first time.
