Art Picnic at The Lloyd-Butler Ranch

Between 2-6pm, please join us for an afternoon family picnic on the sprawling lawn of of one of Ventura County's most exclusive, historic ranches: The Lloyd-Butler Ranch. 

Enjoy a self-guided tour of the Stumpery, Victorian Gardens, and view 4 art installations created exclusively for SCIart's Land + Sky Artist Invitational.  

Artists: Ceramicist Marianne McGrath • Mixed Media Artist Elizabeth Souza • Composer Justin Messina • Digital Image Creator Allanah Vokes. 

Justin Messina will be performing his original musical composition on a 168 year old Estey Melodeon pump organ at 2pm, 3pm, 4pm, and 5pm.

Land + Sky // Tierra y Cielo pairs agriculturally significant properties with contemporary artists to create immersive site-specific installations. 

The artists’ work touches on topics such as the role of personal narratives in land use, historical ecology, sound mapping, archival audio layering, and the porosity of cultural territories.

Beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks will be available for purchase on site, and boxed lunches from Urban Plates are available for pre-order. 

We hope to see you there!
