“First Friday” at the Bell Arts Factory

Visual Artist Curator, Ricardo Rodriguez, talks about “First Friday” at the Bell Arts Factory, in Ventura, CA.

The First Friday of every month, from 6-9 pm at the Bell Arts Factory, is a fun evening of discovery and artistic appreciation. As a kind of “open house” into the numerous art studios – combined with demonstrations, lectures, music, and performance – “First Friday” is an opportunity to share in this unique Ventura experience.

The Bell Arts Factory is a community art and cultural organization providing multi-cultural events, youth art classes, art and cultural sponsorships. It’s a prominent venue for artists, poets, musicians, dancers, and social/cultural advocacies that enhance and uplift our community.

In October 2004, the Bell Arts Factory was conceived to transform an historic, 20,000-square-foot mattress factory on Ventura Avenue into a vibrant, mixed-use community arts center, which officially opened in April 2006.
