The Artist Spotlight Series is back for 2025! Public programming will take place at Namba Performing Arts Space in Downtown Ventura.
Spotlight Talks are meet-the-artist interviews that conclude the formal FOTM documentation process. Each public interview captures the development, achievements, reflections and personal experiences of an artist before a live audience. Attendees have the opportunity to interact with the artists, participate in a question and answer session, and view original work.
After each Spotlight talk artists participate in an intimate AfterGLOW dinner where patrons have the opportunity to socialize and connect with them in a more candid setting. Hosted by FOTM patrons, space is limited.
Please scroll down to see the lineup and RSVP.
