Ventura Gallery Crawl

Amelia and I spent yesterday afternoon distributing fliers all over Ventura county, checking out spots and meeting folks. I finally had the chance to see the inside of Cafe on A in Oxnard. I’d been by there a few months ago, but it was closed that day. Cafe on A is a nice little art collective that hosts art, music and poetry events. We met and talked to a few nice people there, saw some nice art work and then hopped across the street to Experimental Cafe to drop off more fliers.

Later that night, we made our way over to The Accoaldes Gallery in Ventura to see the Sean Tully and Eddie Millan show. Nice work all around. Amelia and I, having just received a little cash for a museum installation we did a couple months back, bought a nice little piece from Eddie Millan. I felt like such a grown up! I couldn’t find a web site for Sean Tully, but here’s some links:

As it was getting late, we did a drive by to check out the super-cool bike part arch out in front of the Artist’s Union Gallery. Being a cyclist, I’m pretty partial to bike sculptures, but all that aside, this one is pretty gosh darn cool. Definitely check it out if you’re in Ventura. Here’s a link to some articles about the sculpture:

All in all, it was a fun night out. I can’t believe we actually had the cash to buy a piece! WOW!
