SUMMARY:Going Wild Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:For novelist Melina Sempill Watts and artist Jeff Sojka\, falling in love with a landscape means interconnecting the lives of the plants and animals that make it alive.  Watts’ first novel Tree is an exploration of 229 years in the life of a California live oak from the point of view of … the tree.  Sojka dove into the book and painted his vision of the tree’s reality\, each painting honoring the aliveness and richness of California’s landscapes. This multimedia experiment\, with the exhibit being available both on-site and virtually\, will offer the audience the opportunity to expand their imagination\, stepping into the life of a tree from multiple vantage points. Consider the world from the plants’ perspective: begin going wild. \nFrom childhood in Topanga\, California\, Melina Sempill Watts interconnected with the outdoors.  After UCLA\, (B.A.\, history\,) Watts worked in Hollywood for Peter Horton\, Ed Zwick\, Kathleen Kennedy and Dreamworks before moving into conservation.  Published in Sierra Magazine\, Earth Island Journal and the New York Times\, Tree is her first novel. \nJeff Sojka grew up in the Bay Area\, sailing\, hiking and painting.  Earning an art scholarship after high school\, Sojka toured the great museums of Europe\, studying and painting.  After UCSB\, then SDSU\, he joined an ad agency\, leaving to paint iconic California landscapes that glow with an internal luminosity. \nThe show starts on Friday\, August 26\, 2022 and runs through October 2\, 2022.\nThe exhibit is held in tandem with an event series. \nMade possible in part by Arts Ventura

SUMMARY:2022 Exhibits Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the free opening reception of three new exhibits at the Museum of Ventura County! Members receive a complimentary ticket to enjoy a Bee’s Knees cocktail. Live musical entertainment will be provided 3-5pm by the Silver Linings Family Trio. \nReception made possible by:\nParadise Pantry\, Peirano’s\, and Ventura Spirits \nAll That Glitters Is Not Gold\nA surprising history of the 1920s and Prohibition in Ventura County. As population and wealth boomed\, creativity flourished – but so did a tide of repression and exclusion. This exhibit tells the local story of the jazz age through our collections and archives. \nThis exhibit made possible in part by the generous support of:\nThe John Hammer Family\nThe Heritage Fund at VCCF\nThe DeArkland Family\nThe Chrisman Estate Company \nChromatic: The Museum in Six Colors\nMVC’s permanent collection\, amassed over 100 years\, ranges from everyday items belonging to real people who lived and worked in the county\, to rarities and precious works of art. Each object has a story to tell\, and this exhibit opens the door to those stories. \nThis exhibit made possible in part by the generous support of:\n \nPierpont Racquet Club  \nAlways Keep Creating: The Resiliency of Carol Rosenak\nRenowned local artist Carol Rosenak (1925-2002) was known for her still life paintings featuring exquisite textures and intricate details. Spanning over 30 years of her career\, this exhibit highlights her early printmaking\, still lifes\, and the abstract style she adopted later in life. \nThe Silver Linings Family Trio (the live music for this event) is comprised of family members of Carol Rosenak’s former husband\, well known local composer\, John Biggs.  His two daughters: Adrienne Biggs and Jennifer Biggs Walton will be playing violin and his grandson\, Oliver Walton will be playing cello. They honored to be performing for this tribute event. \nThis exhibit made possible in part by the generous support of:\nBonita McFarland Endowment Fund \nBehind the Curtain: An Insider’s Look at The George Stuart Historical Figures® \nMade possible in part by the Fred W. Smith Gallery Fund and additional support from Bethe and Tim Sullivan in memory of Rosemarie Magness \nMajor funding for the Museum’s programs is made possible by the City of Buenaventura\, the County of Ventura\, and private and community donors.

SUMMARY:Ivor Davis: Up Close and Personal with Dianne Lake
DESCRIPTION:“At age 14\, I became one of Charles Manson’s Girls. At 17 I helped put him in prison. This is my story.” – Dianne Lake \nDianne Lake was a beautiful and innocent wide eyed seventh grade student – whose hippie parents abandoned their traditional suburban lifestyle to join The Wavy Gravy’s Hog Farm Commune in Tujunga\, California. Along the way her parents met a man named Charles Manson. They were so impressed by him that\, as unbelievable as it sounds\, they turned their young daughter over to Manson. Dianne was just 14. What happened next is a personal odyssey that is hard to believe. She travelled with Manson’s ragtag band of runaways and social misfits until they settled at the notorious Spahn Movie Ranch in Chatsworth\, California. She became chattel\, a slave to Manson’s sexual whims and part of his depraved world of mind-blowing drugs which culminated in a series of horrendous\, high profile Los Angeles murders in the summer of 1969. While never involved with any murders\, Dianne was arrested and her life was almost destroyed. Today\, in her late sixties\, she is a devout\, church-going grandmother who lives in Ventura County. \nMuseum members who register for this event (either in person or via Zoom) will be entered into a drawing to receive an autographed copy of Ivor Davis’ “Manson Exposed: A Reporter’s 50-Year Journey into Madness and Murder” and Dianne Lake’s “Member of the Family.” Become a member now and register for this event for your opportunity to receive the autographed book. \nDoors open at 6pm\, program begins at 6:30pm. \nRegistration for Zoom closes at 4:30pm on March 24th. \nProof of vaccination will be required on arrival for in-person attendees. Masks will not be required for this event. If you want a mask\, we’re happy to provide one for you. \nMember In-Person RSVP\nMember Zoom RSVP\nNon-Member In-Person RSVP\nNon-Member Zoom RSVP

SUMMARY:Story Time
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Ventura County has been partnering with the county library to bring in-person Story Time. We’re welcoming you back to the Museum for the first one of the year. We’ll be starting at 3pm\, so kids will have time to come right after school. Join us for stories\, then play and learn in the Chumash Garden and Evelyn and Howard Boroughs Children’s Garden\, a fabulous and FREE outing for ALL! Another reason to rejoice\, this will be our very first bilingual Story Time at the Museum!
