Arts For Earth Foundation is a non-profit group operated in Ventura, Ca. Since opening in 2007, we’ve treated every artist as part of our family. Other groups may offer similar activities, but our activities come with a personal touch. Please join our team/family and volunteer to help us produce our exhibits and concerts. Simply call:805-861-6504
       Our events benefit many local Ventura County Green Groups and reach a much larger audience than most ECO groups who have such an important heartfelt message.  We feel they MUST be heard and WE CAN DO IT with so much more fun!  Our online presence brings a message to the national level... and to some in the international family!
