artwalk ventura

Ventura is known as one of the most creative communities in Southern California. It's time to focus on the magic that brought many artists and entertainers to our area. ArtWalk is back! This family-friendly event Sept. 23-24 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. will feature local arts venues and creative collaboratives in businesses and other unique spaces. Large art installations, music, poetry, and dance will all be a part of this event run by a new and enthusiastic all-volunteer team.
 
Ventura’s long-running and popular arts event took a break during the pandemic and is back, better than ever. Because of the great interest from the arts community, organizers decided on a two-day event to give participants extra time to see all the venues. The route starts near Cemetery Park, travels down Main Street and up Ventura Avenue, encompassing the Library’s Topping Room, City Hall, the Crowne Plaza, Ventura Mission, Museum of Ventura County, Vita Art Center, Working Artists Ventura, Bell Arts Factory and Art City. In between are numerous galleries and businesses featuring local artists and musicians. Two-day pop-up galleries along the route will feature even more artists.
 
The event is also focusing on performing arts. Two stages, the Main Street Moves stage Downtown and the City Hall Atrium, will feature some of the area’s top performers. Highlights will include aerial acrobatics from The Aerial Studio a performance from the Ventura County Ballet, and sets from local favorite bands Shaky Feelin and Tribal Me.

Live painting, pottery demonstrations and large art installations will also be featured.
 
A map of the entire ArtWalk route will be available soon. Transportation will be provided free in the ArtWalk area by Gold Coast Transit. Parking areas will also be clearly mapped out.

​See you there!

Visitors who attend the 24th Annual Celebration of the Whales Festival at the Channel Islands Harbor are going to be in for a variety of surprises.

This year’s event will feature two new activities – a concert in the park and a community “paint a whale” mural project. In addition, there will be family-friendly activities, chalk art, shopping, a children’s fun zone, and more.

The event is being held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, March 26, 2023. Activities will be held at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, the Channel Islands Harbor Farmers Market, and a “Gray Whale Migration Trail” that runs through Harbor View Park that connects the two activity centers.

Children and adults can both enjoy the migration trail, which will be lined with activities, including educational booths about the migration of the Pacific Gray Whale, more than 15 pieces of ocean-themed sidewalk chalk art, a children’s fun zone, a live concert, and community mural project.

Attendees are invited to help hand paint a large community mural that features a gray whale and sea life. The mural project is being facilitated by staff at the Oxnard Performing Arts Center.

Channel Islands Maritime Museum

The Maritime Museum will host the Celebration of Whales. At the Maritime Museum, there will be contests, family activities, and arts & crafts. More than a dozen organizations will have booths set up so attendees can learn about marine-themed topics including wood carving, knot tying, recreational fishing, marine life, and more.

A Festival of Feminine Power + Artistry
Mar
1
to Apr 30

A Festival of Feminine Power + Artistry

What is the Festival of Feminine Power + Artistry?

It is multi-dimensional!

A "hybrid" online summit and online course.

It is...

...with 21 different painting workshops, taught by 21 different Creatively Fit Coaches & a few Special Guests.

...within which you get to explore your own Feminine Power + Artistry, as each featured teacher shares how she is connecting to her Feminine Power + Artistry.

...that invites you into a deeper knowing of who you are and what makes you SO awesome!

..in which each of the 21, approximately 60 minute workshops, explores an aspect of Feminine Power + Artistry, and / or a specific Goddess who represents a pantheon of Feminine Power + Artistry.

...where Whitney Freya will be painting the Goddess Freya, sharing her magic, how she has empowered her to reclaim her own personal sovereignty and much more.

...in which you can explore the Creatrix archetype with Creatively Fit Coach Colleen Talbot and Mother eARTh powers with Creatively Fit Coach Desiree East.

...with Guest Teacher Tahverlee Anglen painting the Witch Goddess.

...that will include an interview with Whitney Freya & each featured teacher, released throughout April and May 2022, to expand upon how the knowing we discover during our painting practice can ripple out into the art that is our lives.

...that requires ZERO painting experience. We have a whole lesson just for beginner painters to help you "remember" the basics quick & easy! This "studio" specializes in creating safe, supportive and inspiring space for ALL Life Artists.

And in the spirit of TARA, we are committed to as many beings as possible benefiting from our own personal empowerment. This is why, we will be donating a minimum of 70% of net proceeds from this Festival to a fund committed to ending FGM, Female Genital Mutilation. You can learn more about this organization HERE.

See you on the inside!!

Pick a Card + Paint w/Me - Creative Rituals LIVE - For the Mamas

Please join me for some casual live-streaming creativity sessions on my YouTube channel. As you all know, I’m a homeschooling mama living in the times of Covid, so I’m just going with the flow, as we all are, and trying my best to find little pockets of peace.

My intention is to connect with other creatives (and especially struggling mamas) who are craving self-care and solo time, so that they could find inner peace during these uncertain times. We all need a break and deserve self-nourishment for our souls.

I’m hoping to go live at least once a week, and as of now, those days are ‘loosely’ scheduled on Wednesdays, Fridays or the weekends at 11am Pacific Time.

In addition to the chalk art, there will be shopping and prize drawings that include whale watching excursions for the entire family.

21-Day Creative Courage Challenge w/Whitney Freya
Dec

21-Day Creative Courage Challenge w/Whitney Freya

2020 is a big year--for SO many reasons. 


What I know for sure is that we will each be called to listen to, honor, & follow our heARTs even more. That will take courage. 


We know the word, courage, has at its root, the word for heART. 


The “world” wants us to follow the most “logical” path, the path of the guaranteed or proven outcome / results. 


AND what we, as creatives, desire most is NOT logical or practical. We want to create change! 


OWL can illuminate new paths for you that would otherwise be obscured in the darkness of our fear. Fear of upsetting others. Fear of saying something wrong or contradictory. Fear of not being approved of or validated. I know ALL of these fears. 


I also know that together, validating each other’s “wild ideas” and visions of even more harmony, adventure, excitement, and love, we can create SO much more. 


So, I decided to join an intimate, 21 Day Creative Courage Challenge, inspired by the energy of the OWL, the theme of SOARING into new landscapes, and creating our vision for 2020 in full illumination of our heart’s desires. 


From December 1st to 21st, I will personally be participating in a special Creative Challenge alongside Whitney Freya and other Creatively Fit Coaches--and I want you to join me. There will be a private FB group (where I will be cheering you on, holding you accountable...along with Whitney), twice-a-week FB lives and two live group Zoom calls to hold each of us (I love that these events hold me accountable too!) accountable and focused on what we WANT in 2020, no matter what.

When you join me for this special Creative Courage Challenge, you will enjoy these added benefits:

  • A LIVE Zoom group call, at two different times to fit your schedule, on December 3rd and December 19th.

  • Membership to our private FB group just for this Creative Courage Challenge.

  • Daily posts from me to inspire your heART.

  • Weekly FB lives (four total) of live painting tutorials, guided meditations and more.

  • Lifetime access to Art Gypsy Guatemala, the Owl Painting Experience.

  • An opportunity to WIN a 2020 New Year Sacred Symbol Session with Whitney Freya, a $299 value.

GO HERE  to learn more and to join me. Check out the video for the course--it was all filmed in Guatemala at the magical Lake Atitlan--you will love the views.


I plan on creating very intentional time heading into the new year and focus on what is really important to me moving into 2020. I hope you join me to lay the foundation for a magical year of heART-guided action and experiences that light you up from the inside out! xoxo

Mandalas are a form of sacred geometry whose patterns could be found in natural forms, like flowers, snowflakes, nautical shells, and honeycombs. Mandalas have been used for centuries, in some sort of form or fashion, by different cultures and religions throughout the world.

It is represented by a circle, which is a symbol for life, and the creation of mandalas have been used as a form of meditation, ritual, healing, inspiration, and self-expression.

Rise Above: Paint Your Angel Wings

Rise Above: Paint Your Angel Wings

rise above angel wings painting by desiree east

It’s time to paint your WINGS!! Treat yourself to a mini creativity retreat day and sink into your most relaxed, creative self. 

Please join me for an afternoon of creative possibility, based on Creatively Fit mentor, Whitney Freya's book, 'Rise Above - Free Your Mind One Brush Stroke at a Time'

You will explore PRACTICAL steps you can take to RISE ABOVE and make your day-to-day life more enjoyable and more in FLOW and how being deeply creative could be a portal to living a more inspired and joyful life.  

This is where the dreamers, the idealists and the optimists gather to RISE ABOVE 'ordinary' states of living...CREATE more of what you want in the art that is your life. 

Learn to develop your own personal painting practice and experience the transformative power of creativity. What are you wanting to Rise Above? Come with a threshold you want to cross, a new chapter you want to start. What's next...what do you want to BE next? 

You will explore meditation at the canvas by painting the energies of freedom, peace, abundance, spaciousness and expansion and also connect with your CHAKRAS to create divine feminine flow.

Where do you feel blocked? Where would you like experience FLOW?

Here is your chance to communicate to the universe exactly what it is you want more of in your life on a visual, symbolic, and colorful level. 

Tap into your creative wisdom (which has nothing to do with being good, bad or having talent) and connect with what it means to be a life artist and understand all the ways you get to create your reality.

Cosmos, Constellations, and Celestial Dreams

Cosmos, Constellations, and Celestial Dreams

Summer is slowly coming to an end, so why not celebrate with cosmic showers, constellations, and celestial dreams? One of my favorite meteor showers, The Perseids (produced by comet Swift-Tuttle and radiating from the constellation, Perseus), is due to peak on August 12-13th. I thought that a lovely sunset painting session would be the perfect way to greet the night sky - then, you could go home take a cat nap and wake at midnight for the best viewing (up to 60 meteors per hour...ahhhhhmazing). 

Please note, this is a private event.
