Marriott and City of Ventura Offer Community Support

Continuing our theme of giving back, we have partnered with the City of Ventura to provide the content gathered during the workshop as a historical archive. In addition, they will be working with us to provide story ideas from the community in and around Ventura. Completely in line with our Mission, the Cultural Affairs Division shares our mission, “Promote broad community awareness of, access to, and education in the arts and the city’s historic resources in Ventura.”

Our latest sponsor, the Ventura Beach Marriott, has agreed to host our late-night portfolio reviews and to provide discounted rooms for attendees of the workshop.

“Building bridges in our community is a wonderful outcome of being a visual journalist. The support we are receiving from the City of Ventura and the Ventura Beach Marriott is immense and will enable the workshop participants to tell stories about the Ventura community. This generosity is not lost on us as we go forward in preparation for this exciting endeavor, together,” said Paul Myers, founder and executive director of the VJ Workshops.
