Buenaventura Art Association announces a Call for Entries for a “Mural in a Day” Project at the Harbor Village Gallery. The theme is Ventura Harbor Wetlands. This area of natural habitat where the Santa Clara River meets the Pacific Ocean is the Santa Clara River Watershed. A historical and natural point of interest for conservationists, environmentalists, birders and beach lovers alike, the Santa Clara River Watershed is an important natural resource. Many organizations have interest in the area and research for your design is encouraged.

Artists are asked to design a mural for an 8’ high x 30’ space. The winning artist will lead a team of artists who will paint the mural in a day. The paint will be supplied by Buenaventura Art Association.
The winning artist will receive a free non-volunteer membership to Buenaventura Art Association as well as free entry fees for Buenaventura Art Association exhibits. In addition, the winning artist will have the advice and guidance of experienced muralist Susan Krieg.
