Where is ArtWalk Ventura 2025?

Starting at Cemetary Park in Ventura, art enthusiasts can easily follow the path of art down Main Street and up the Ventura Avene. Over 30 of the Artwalk venues can be found along Main Street and its side streets in Downtown Ventura — some venues include Fox Fine Jewelry, the Ventura Visitor Center, Ecugreen, Paradise Pantry, and more. As you walk along Main Street, you’ll find big art installations like the community Mandala painting in front of the Mission Basilica San Buenaventura. And as you walk up the Ventura Avenue, stop by the Vita Art Center, the Bell Arts Factory, and other venues for more art exhibitions. 

What are some highlights of ArtWalk Ventura 2025? 

This year’s ArtWalk is truly bigger and better than ever. Over the span of two days, art enthusiasts will have more time to explore the galleries and businesses featuring local artists and musicians. Because dozens of venues and artists are participating this year, you’ll need all the time you can get to browse the beautiful art on display across Downtown Ventura and the Ventura Avenue. 

ArtWalk perusers can also walk between two stages for live entertainment. The Albinger Archeological Museum and the California & Main stages will feature live performance art. Local bands, poets, Irish dancers, and aerial acrobaticswill grace these stages over the weekend. Plus, members of the Chumash tribe will perform a traditional blessing.

And don’t miss out on this free opportunity: Gold Coast Transit is offering FREE transportation during the ArtWalk. Hop on a bus for free on Routes 6 and 16 which primarily serve stops along Santa Clara Street, Thompson Blv., and Ventura Avenue.
