For the past two years the Westside Community Council has made a $350 donation to support the Kid's Arts Program at the Bell Arts Factory. 

The Bell Arts Factory's after-school and Saturday art programs provide a creative and nurturing environment for children to engage in art-making experiences. These free classes allow youth to enjoy a variety of artistic media, interact with others, and build self-confidence.  The program welcomes all, and each program may include painting, drawing, Native American crafts, recyclable art, mixed media or drama. There is an emphasis on multicultural lessons, which demonstrates there are many different peoples who contribute to our world of art.  Classes are held on Tuesday and Thursday 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 to 12:00.

Pamela Huckins, Chair of the Westside Community Council, thanked Bell Arts Factory for providing such a diverse and creative opportunity for kids all across Ventura, and especially for those on the Westside. 

Thanks to Bell Arts Factory for all it has brought to the Community!
