Since 2008, Vita Arts Center has been a cornerstone for quality art education, impactful community outreach, and vibrant exhibits. We connect Ventura to enriching art programs. Vita Art Center’s high-quality enrichment experiences in the visual arts are taught by local teaching artists, each specializing in their area of expertise, sharing their knowledge and passion with our community. We provide students with a solid foundation in art. Students develop critical-thinking skills, creativity, visual literacy, self-esteem, and an appreciation of art. By teaching fine art skills, we equip students with the tools they need to express their creative voices. We're committed to breaking down barriers through scholarships, free programming, and mentorships.
