The Ventura College Art Department with Sharla Fell as Chair, continues to evolve, expand and launch more opportunities for Art students. With the support and enthusiasm of Philosophy Professor Ron Mules, Sharla and her team of professionals in the department and supportive administration have an announcement.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Ventura College, history and inclusivity of its students, we are proud to announce a collaborative large scale Mural Project! This 20’ x 16’ painted exterior mural on the New Media wall will enhance our campus environment. The Art department is now calling on local Artists to beautify the campus by Designing a Mural!
A non-profit mural painting company, muralism.org, will be painting the large work of art with the help of our Ventura College students in fall 2024. To oversee the mural process, there will be a new class offered here as well. Mural Painting: History and Practice, ART V21. There are no prerequisites for this Mural class but any of the the following are recommended prep: ART V11A, ART V13A, ART V15A and V16A.
“This is something for everyone to enjoy, from the Art Department, that will be enjoyed for many years.” said Chair Sharla Fell.
Furthermore, this involves an AWARD of 3,000 for the Best Design!
