       ARTS FOR EARTH FOUNDATION: EARTH SPIRIT ART EXHIBIT & CONCERT - networks fine arts, eco-activities and entertainment with arts activities for kids, families, singles and seniors. Oct. 2-25 weekends, noon to 6 pm, at the WAV Gallery, 175 S. Ventura Ave.

Ventura 93001. All are free events except Earth Spirit Concert $20 tax deductible non-profit donation  (Sat.

        This is a landmark month long series of weekend events that generate compassion for the Earth and it’s inhabitants (animals, plants, minerals).  Visitors to the WAV Gallery become engaged, inspired and motivated when experiencing this collaboration between the arts and a variety of eco groups promoting our missions of encouraging sustainable living practices!

        Yaaaay it's happening!  Our hope is that the arts will evoke compassion  while Eco-groups teach us ways to act responsibly and participate as PART of the Earths great eco-system… to identify with it as we would our own immediate families. 

        The Arts For Earth Foundation invites Eco-groups to collaborate based on their ability to offer specific engaging activities.  This event was created to encourage active participation in environmentally sound practices.  We are generating a place and time for arts, eco-groups and area residents to interact with each other in collaboration with compassion.  We provide the “eco-edu-tainment”.

        Arts For Earth Foundation events are artsy and environmentally sound.
