Preview the 2022 Fall Tour at the Ojai Valley Museum
Each OSA artist has a piece in this group show giving you a wonderful way to decide which artist studios to visit in our 2022 Fall Tour, Oct 8-10, 2022.
Perception, using one’s senses to interpret, and persistence, taking course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition is the theme of the show. Whether one proceeds gleefully or advances in a terrified state, it’s the push-pull of thinking and making that artists contend with and will bring to their craft in this show.
On view until OCTOBER 10, 2022
Ojai Valley Museum
130 W. OJAI AVE, Ojai CA 93023
Hours: Friday, Saturday and Sundays. 10am – 4 pm
Ojai Studio Artists is a nonprofit community educational organization that invites art lovers and collectors into the studios of Ojai’s many fine artists several times a year in open studio tours. OSA promotes art awareness, preparing the next generation of artists, and celebrating the importance of the arts within the region. To date, OSA has given more than $200,000 in art scholarships. It also purchases art books for local libraries, partners with schools in teaching classes and mentoring students, and supports public art projects and other community programs.

Julie Grist: Pedaling Provence

Spirit of place: by Christopher Noxon
I paint landscapes mostly, pictures of mountains and valleys, rocks and trees and big drippy skies. I use a lot of color - I'm inspired by African textiles and Hockney landscapes and Huichol yarn paintings and Colorform toy sets. All of which is a big surprise to me - I never meant to be a colorful landscape painter.
Gayel Childress #2 of 12 in series -Newest Paintings of the Disappearing Butterflies
