Sept. 2 — Museum’s Free First Sunday Features Food as Paint

VENTURA — Focus on the Masters ‘Learning to See’ Outreach invites museum-goers to “play with their food” as part of a free art activity, noon to 2 p.m. on Free First Sunday, Sept. 2, at the Museum of Ventura County.

Kids and adults learn about natural pigments by using a variety of fruits, vegetables, leaves and flowers as paint to create lively, colorful still-life artwork. No experience necessary.

While Free First Sunday offers free admission at both the Ventura and Santa Paula museum locations, the free art activities will take place only at the Ventura museum location.

Free First Sunday is sponsored by museum donor Mimi Allin and the TOLD Corporation. For more information visit venturamuseum.org or call 805-653-0323.

Museum locations:

  • The Agriculture Museum, 926 Railroad Avenue, Santa Paula.
  • The Museum of Ventura County, 100 E. Main Street, Ventura.
