Artist & Ideas Festival

The 2020 Ojai Institute Artist & Ideas Festival has been canceled due to COVID-19. Dates for the 2021 Festival will be announced shortly. 

The 2019 Ojai Institute Artist & Ideas Festival took place Friday June 28 – Sunday June 30. Over the course of three days, The Ojai Institute Artist & Ideas Festival featured a daily panel discussion of respected artists, architects, and art professionals exploring the intersection of art and architecture in Southern California. These conversations explored three themes: Architecture for Artists, Architecture and Race, and Artists Looking at Architecture, all through the lens of our region.

These events are free and open to all.
