All seemed quiet last Saturday evening as the fog hid the sinking sun’s glare. Other than a crowd across from the San Buenaventura Mission, downtown Ventura was empty.
A silent auction was hosted in which participants could buy the students’ artwork. Soft music produced by Bradley Pupa strumming on his guitar filled the gallery, and the dim, warm lights provided the finishing touch for a great atmosphere.
“This event is almost entirely done by the students. The students paint the works, submit them, and help pick them out,” Frazier said, “and Noelie LeBlanc and Ariana Johnson helped a great deal with setting up this event.”
All in all, this year’s art show was a success. Students led their families around the gallery and excitedly pointed to their piece of art. Teenagers admired and supported their friend’s artistic abilities. Even Mr. Frazier could be seen enjoying the gallery with his family and socializing with his students.
“Each year I’m just amazed at what my [art] students produce,” Frazier said.
