Congratulations to Mai Ryuno, artist and owner of Play Full Ground at 550 Lighthouse Avenue, Suite E in Monterey, who recently received an Individual Artists Grant from the Arts Council for Monterey County!
For this grant application, Mai proposed a project to explore, experiment, and collaborate for the execution of socially-engaged art by creating meaningful gatherings and a series of dialogues around a future community. The goals are to introduce the art practice outside of object making, empower future generations to build competencies to become creative members of a society, and imagine and create a healthy, vibrant and connected community for all.
Please contact Mai Ryuno if you or someone you know needs help discovering your creativity and utilizing it to make art in everyday life!

Venture Gallery presents the work of Barbara Lee Furbush, our featured artist for June. Her exhibit, entitled Ephemeral Evolutions, invites engagement with the protean dance between sky and water.
A printmaker by training, Barbara's images are atmospheric - she chases the ephemeral with ink veils layered on paper to create her original prints. Barbara writes, "Printmaking allows me liberation, freedom...as I move through the creative process...My prints [are] mostly an intuitive and experiential process."
Venture Gallery is now open 10am-6pm six days a week and 2pm-6pm on Tuesdays. Barbara Lee Furbush's artwork will be featured through June 2023. Venture Gallery is located at 260 Alvarado Street in Downtown Old Monterey. Visit our website to shop online for work by our local artists.
