Bell Arts Factory

I happen to have visited the Bell Arts Factory on their First Friday event. Many studios were open to the public on that evening. I talked to a few artists and one of them gave me a piece of art and the other connected me to another amazing human being biking from California to China. I am so glad I went there!

The Bell Arts Factory was at one time a Matress factory ? It has been converted into variety of small studios used for the sole purpose of anything representing " Art " in it's most basic form ? From Pottery , Stained Glass , Painting , Pewter & Bronze Sculptures to Modern dance and Yoga classes ? My reason for my continued visits to Bell Arts ? Is because , I still work for Sharon who is the Director of the Buena Ventura Art gallery , which now has it's New location there , because the previous location was sold for a substantial profit ? I'm a paid part time employee who performs Maintenance and Painting when needed ? I'm helping the gallery to meet their dead-line for reopening their doors to the Public sometime in late August 2018 ?

I always go there on Wednesdays with my cousin and her friend,it's very fun

Slowly picking back up on Firsr Fridays. Great artists and solid community. A pleasure to DJ sets here!

It was closed its Christmas eve! But WOW AWESOME ArT!!!! Great Job!!!

Beautiful space for artists to create.

There was an interesting art auction.

Checked out a free Zumba class tonight! I had a blast! It was only 45mins but I really got a workout!! Lots of smiles and so much fun!!! I think they also offer free art classes. I had never been here before and I'm so happy my friend recommended this place. What an maxing community center. I was told there is a Day of the Dead event November 2,2023. Not sure if I will be able to make it but will try :)

The best artists collective in Ventura. Worth checking out and visiting during their First Fridays events!

This is a gem in the middle of Ventura Ave. so many amazing artist in one place. Attend the First Friday event if you get the chance, first Friday of every month is an open house. You can meet the artist and pick up some great deals.

This place is really cool. I have heard about their art classes such as " a Frieda & a margarita", and " a Monet & a Chardonnay" And "First Fridays" ( of the month) the hv gourmet gut trucks, studio open, music etc... I am going with family & friends May 2. Ill let ya know more afterwards!!!

This is a fun spot made up of artist studios with workshops and classes for adults and kids in a variety of arts and crafts, great art for sale, and interesting events. On the first Friday of each month they participate in Ventura's "First Fridays" when artists across Ventura open their studios to the public. Bell Arts Factory artists open their studios and also have food trucks, music and an eclectic mix of visitors. It is a great time to mix and mingle and check out what's happening in the artists' studios.

Love this place, what an asset to our community. My kids recently started taking classes here & I like to browse the studios of these talented artists. And the Ave is just a fun place to be.

Local art at its best! Very cool place to visit so many amazing artists, what a pleasure to have in Ventura.

I wish they had more studios doing open house at the same time, there were a couple of artists I really wanted to check out, but they weren't there.
