Berta Payan, a Chicana activist, speaks with MB Hanrahan about Art Stroll, a grassroots event she founded to celebrate the culture of Ventura’s Westside.
Art Stroll, which featured art, music, and a car show, is a spiritual successor to the larger Avenue Days celebration (1977-1989).
The event showcased local talent, preserving the area’s history, and highlighting the success and art of residents, including formerly at-risk youth.
