Westside Arts District

Go down the rabbit hole of art and expression, explore, observe, or get creative. It’s all possible in the Arts District—spanning from Main Street to Ventura Avenue to Olive Street. Ready to wander?

❋ Art Galleries

From Bell Arts to Art City to small galleries, our art scene is growing on the Westside. This is a great opportunity for artists and patrons alike—let your imagination guide you.

❋ Murals

From indoor galleries to outdoor murals, art touches every aspect of this district in vivid pops of colors and dreamlike visions.

❋ Coffee, Wine, and Spirits

Singing Sun Coffee, Muni Wine Bar, and Ventura Spirits call the Avenue their home. Take in the art, enjoy a glass of wine, or get a coffee buzz while you explore.

❋ Mexican Culture + Cuisine

The Avenue is home to Ventura's unofficial Taco District, a one-mile stretch featuring roughly 14 long-time, family-owned Mexican restaurants. Taco hop or dine in.
