Art in the Park
May 26 & May 27
10 am - 5 pm in Libbey Park

​Don’t miss!!!!…. The 41st Annual Art in the Park will take place Memorial Day weekend, May 26 & 27, in beautiful Libbey Park in downtown Ojai. The Art Center has hosted this popular event for over 4 decades. It started many years ago as an opportunity for local artists to exhibit work and has gradually evolved into one of the best outdoor shows in the tri-county area. The oak lined paths of the park provide a perfect backdrop for about 70 artists showing a variety of wares – everything from one of a kind jewelry to pastel paintings to ceramics, oil paintings, sculpture, and much more. Come by, meet the artists and spend a delightful day in a beautiful place. 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., free admission.

Theatre Branch Presents:
Bakersfield Mist
Weekends May 4 - May 27

Picture
​BAKERSFIELD MIST is about a “hard drinking broad” (Maud, played by Lee Ann Manley) who buys a painting for $3 as a joke because she thinks it’s so ugly. Someone suggests it could be a real Jackson Pollock worth millions. When a snooty art appraiser (Lionel, played by Paul Sulzman) arrives to authenticate the painting, the sparks and Jack Daniels start flying as the two of them face off in a hilarious argument over what is real and what is not. Directed by Susan Kelejian and produced by Aaliyah Mora-Khan. Times are Friday and Saturday, 7:30 p.m., Sunday at 2. Call 805-640-8797 for reservations or go to Ojaiact.org. For more information...
