The Art Branch is an
active group of volunteer members who strive to promote these early
tenets set forth in the Articles of Incorporation,"The purpose
of the Art Center is to advance the interest, influence and usefulness
of the Arts in the community... to engage in the promotion from an avocational
standpoint of fine and applied arts." Whicn means to us joyfully
creating,exhibiting,networking and providing hands on experiences in
the Arts.
The galleries are a source
of pride for the Art Center, displaying a high quality of local work
from Ojai, Santa Barbara and Ventura County artists as well as artists
from as far away as New York.. Many artists who have since gained national
recognition have had their start at the Art Center.

The Spotted Dog Studio, located at 912 N. Drown Ave., Ojai, 93023, is an open-access printmaking studio. This workshop features a large work area, 3 large format etching presses and one small format etching press. The studio offers classes for adults in monoprinting, collagraph printing and relief printing. Guest artists visit the studio several times a year to give classes in a variety of printmaking processes. In March of 2008, Ron Pokrasso from Santa Fe, New Mexico, is giving a one week monoprinting class. Also scheduled to offer classes late in 2008 are Michael McCabe and Tom Kirby, both printmakers from Santa Fe. The studio owner and art center member, Linda Taylor, also offers classes in printmaking as well as editioning services.
The studio is available for drop-in work after attending one of the classes offered at minimal cost.
