FOTM: A Conversation with Bruce Freeman

The Focus on the Masters Arts Archive & Library, founded in 1994, is one of Ventura’s premier arts organizations. Its mission is to document and present to a large audience the lives and works of leading contemporary artists.

Most recently, Bruce Freeman was recognized for the wine label he created, Clos des Amis. His exceptional wine producing capabilities are the tip of the proverbial iceberg when it comes to creativity and artistic expression. A true local of Ventura, Bruce’s artistry is emblematic of the nuances that make his home distinctive in multitudinous ways.

His mark as an artist on Ventura was already taking form in 1976 when he and Bill Murphy founded an art gallery and organized exhibits. Since then, he’s designed and fabricated Ventura Museum exhibits and taught at the former Brookes Institute and Ventura College.

A celebration of the land and sky and sea, Bruce’s prints, artwork, and designs reflect the sincerity with which he observes, appreciates, and emulates precisely where he is and what he is doing and honors the viewer with an invitation to do the same.
