Municipal Art Collection
The Muncipal Art Acquisition Committee
A sub-committee of the Public Art Commission, oversees
the purchase of works in a variety of artistic media. The City Council established the Municipal Art Acquisition Program to
document the history of visual art in Ventura, California through the annual purchase of important works of art created by
area artists.The collection provides increased access to art of the highest quality and of distinctive merit through its display
in the areas of City Hall.
Although a multi-media artist, Parmlee Gomez maintains
a special connection to drawing. She says, "For me the true experience of creative expression has always been drawing;
it's a preliminary to what is coming, it's immediate and more direct, which pushes me forward". Gomez designed
the first "Dancin' in the Street" poster for the City of Ventura and a commemorative poster for the dedication of the Ventura
Pier. Her artworks can be found in numerous public and private collections. In addition to the many exhibitions of her work,
her original drawings have been recognized by the World Business Academy, Year in Perspective, which published thirty of her
drawings.
