At the Thanksgiving Holiday coming almost on the back of our region's recent harrowing events, the Museum is grateful that the Oxnard-Ventura area with its residents, artists and art holdings is so far untouched by fire. We remain ever grateful for our museum members and the public that support the Carnegie by attending its exhibits and programs, and wish everyone a loving and safe Thanksgiving.

In the aftermath of the 2017 Thomas Fire, Luther Gerlach turned his camera on the destruction and regeneration spanning Ventura county, using chemical elements gathered from the landscape to bring the power of these natural forces to life.

recent landscape paintings by Karen Kitchel
This work re-frames traditional landscape imagery. Mischieviously beautiful, the paintings are made of asphalt emulsion, tar, wax, shellac, and powdered mineral pigments on canvas. They are dirty, seductive, and imperfect.
