“Scream Queen” is a queer, horror-themed art show curated by Dakota Noot and Christopher Anthony Velasco. Coinciding with the eve of National Coming Out Day, “Scream Queen” champions queerness through the genre of horror. Violence and shock become tools to transform and reclaim the queer body. Queer identity is just as malleable as tropes such as body horror, camp, or the abject. “Scream Queen” places a strong emphasis on women in horror and female-identifying artists.
Artists include: Erin Adams, Aliza Bejarano, Serene Blumenthal, Ciriza, Rakeem Cunningham, Amina Cruz, Leslie Foster, Maiza Hixson, Megan Koth, Curt LeMieux, Paul Pescador, Alexeis Reyes, Judy Ornelas Sisneros, Rae Threat, Diane Williams, and Eve Wood.
The 10/20 film screening will include short films by Shaun Johnson & Jensen Rule Tierra, Ciriza, and select queer horror cinema.
Gallery hours: Sundays 1-4 pm or by appointment. For inquiries, contact dakota.noot@gmail.com or christopheravelasco@gmail.com

“La Otra” can be translated in English as “the other,” or “the other one.” There exists in your life right now, at least one or more persons who identify with or as La Otra. This type of person doesn’t always have a particular identifier that you can explicitly describe, and if they can’t necessarily be picked out within a group or a crowd, they stand out in conversation when exposing and living as their most authentic selves.
Because of the intrepid passion that emerges from constant encounters of being dismissed and underestimated, they become the souls of change and progress. They become the people who remind us of who we need to be for ourselves. Whatever identity or classification of person that may be.
Using paintings, childhood relics, video, and installation, Aliza J. Bejarano has constructed an experience of the various and often times, “othering” facets of her Self, which culminate into the artist and individual she has become today. La Otra describes the upbringing and experiences of a queer Latina, born in the USA to immigrant parents, attempting to navigate between cultures, between class, between the fluidity of sexuality, and throughout planes of understanding, purpose, vulnerability and the strength required to live as one’s true Self. La Otra: An Artist’s Journey chronicles how an artist carries and creates from owning many classifications of identity. Come experience the art born of this narrative.
Over 100 artists, 20 + venues, and 3 busses looping nonstop to all locations.
ArtWalk Ventura may be known as an "art walk" officially, but with all the studios and other venues around town, your legs are bound to get tired. That is where the free shuttle comes in. Hop on one of our 3 buses and we will take you throughout Downtown and West Side to all of the venue spaces.
“In the Now Figurative II” is a celebration of the human figure in contemporary artwork. This exhibition is also in conjunction with __flatline's 2 year anniversary celebration.

Artists who have been victimized by violence often lack the support and resources needed to come forward. For artists who have been affected by the trauma of sexual assault, there are rarely adequate opportunities to create work that addresses their stories within and beyond the larger art community.
Performance artist and expressive arts therapist, Elizabeth Tobias, has amplified her fusion of social practice, performance and film making to debut Survivor! Share your 98 Second Story, a short film blending art and documentary that shares the stories of 20 contemporary artists who have survived sexual assault and who participated in a workshop and performance project created by Tobias for The LA Art Show.
The Survivor! Project brings much needed awareness and advocacy to the sexual assault epidemic, one of the greatest human rights violations in the world. The screening of the 15-minute film will be part of the closing reception for We Chose Art, Feminist Perspective 2019, curated by Baha Danesh.
This immersive performance addresses the sexual assault epidemic, one of the most pervasive, yet most under reported crimes. Survivor! addresses the staggering statistic that every 98 seconds, there is a sexual assault in America.
Dr Jennifer Freyd, expert in the field of interpersonal violence has identified that the act of speaking out has a measurable impact on decreasing violence. Consequently, the performance and ongoing project have the potential to directly reduce the statistics. Survivor! Share Your 98 Second Story is a groundbreaking new project that addresses trauma, courage and continuance.

Elizabeth Tobias will amplify her fusion of social practice, performance and sound to debut Survivor! Share your 98 Second Story at 2019 The Los Angeles Art Show. This immersive project addresses the sexual assault epidemic, one of the most pervasive, yet most underreported crimes. Survivor! addresses the staggering statistic that every 98 seconds, there is a sexual assault in America.
Weaving together spoken word and improvised sound, Elizabeth Tobias will perform with an ensemble of artist survivors to collectively promote needed awareness and advocacy for sexual assault survivors in the art community and throughout the public sphere.
Those victimized by violence often lack the support and resources needed to come forward. For artists who have been impacted by the trauma of sexualized assault, rarely, if ever, are there adequate opportunities to create work that addresses their stories within and beyond the larger art community.
Dr Jennifer Freyd, expert in the field of interpersonal violence has identified that the act of speaking out has a measureable impact on decreasing violence*. Consequently, the performance has the potential to directly reduce the statistics. Survivor!
