The Ventura County Gourd Artists are directed to the education and instruction of those persons interested in the culture, use, history, horticulture, and/or crafting of gourds. Our members are offered educational opportunities via monthly meetings and outreach programs in the community. Some of these outreach programs include a booth in the agricultural building during the Ventura County Fair each August, displays in local libraries and periodic art classes featuring gourds upon request. Patch members regularly enter their gourd art in competitions around the county and state. One of our favorite locations to display our artwork is the Ventura County Fair. Some members enter their gourd art in competitions all across the country. Our patch has grown to more than sixty members. Our members have a unique relationship between their gourds and artistic expression as can be seen at the monthly meetings where current projects are often on display. The monthly meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month from 7pm to 9pm. For more information, please email: Charlene Smith President and Regional Coordinator | |

Speakers Committee |
|
Our speakers committee is available to organizations wishing to learn more about gourd art and culture. In general we speak on the artwork we do on gourds. Some members review history and growing of gourds and take a few tools and paints to show what we use to accomplish artwork on gourds. Recently Pat Lelie spoke at the Christian Women's Group, Charlene Smith spoke at the Pleasant Valley Garden Club, Janie Knappenber, Paula Lasiter and Shirley Gorman spoke at the Ojai Valley Garden Club. To schedule a speaker please contact Shirley Gorman. Cigs members may join the committee by contacting Shirley Gorman as well. |
