Exhibit Dates: March 1 – March 31, 2012

Artists’ Reception and Awards:  Saturday, March 3rd, 4pm – 6pm

“CROSS-POLLINATION: New Use of Materials for New Ideas” is open to all mixed media. We welcome the utilization of multiple art-making systems and/or multiple media – i.e.: printmaking systems integrated with painting; 3-D sculpture integrated with 2-D graphics. The idea is that one system could influence/inform another creative system. We encourage artists to break out of their standard approach of using only one medium and incorporate additional media and systems.

Festive event features live music, festive food and family fun.

Original photographs, beautiful bronze sculptures, unique paintings, charming jewelry and other works of art will be available for sale at the Artist’s Holiday Marketplace and Open Studios event on Friday evening, Dec. 2, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. in conjunction with Camarillo’s annual tree lighting ceremony and all day Saturday, Dec. 3, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at Studio Channel Islands Art Center located at 2222 Ventura Boulevard Old Town Camarillo. On Friday evening the Artists’ Holiday Marketplace will be a stop on the free trolley traveling the boulevard.

Beginning this Saturday, October 1, and continuing the first Saturday of each month, the nearly 40 resident artists at Studio Channel Islands Art Center will open their studios to the public from 10 am to 4 pm. Admission is free. The studios are located in Old Town Camarillo at 2222 Ventura Boulevard with entrances on Ventura Blvd. and Elm Street.

Visitors are invited to browse the artists’ work, their work-space and meet the artists personally. The artists cover a wide variety of artistic media including oil and water color painting, pastel, fiber arts, ceramics, bronze and clay sculpture, photography (even camaraless photography), jewelry and more. This is a rare opportunity to meet with some of the region’s finest artists in their studios.
