The staff greeted me as soon as I came in. The store had all kinds of cute handmade vierge and home goods. I got a cute sticker for my water bottle and a greeting card.

Verrrrrrry cute little shop in Ojai! I'd wanted to check this place out on past trips but had never…read moregotten the timing right, so I was happy we were able to pop in this past Friday. The shop is open and masks + distancing is required. This is on the main drag in town but a little off the beaten path, so we drove. There are a few parking spots around back and a restroom on the side of the building. We arrived right at opening time and were the only people there aside from the gentleman working at the shop. Summer Camp is small-ish with a framing studio on one side and the shop on the other. The shop side is curated with really lovely plants, pots, crystals, candles, cards, some clothes, and gift-y things. I picked up a card and some palo santo, but honestly could've purchased way more (I had to use some self control). Wasn't here for any framing needs, but worth noting that they have a Yelp check in offer for 15% off custom framing!

Bells Art Factory is one of Ventura's true gems. Located in a beautifully repurposed former…read moremattress factory, this nonprofit community arts center is deeply rooted in creativity, accessibility, and community care. The space is home to 30+ local artists working in painting, ceramics, photography, jewelry, and more. In addition to artist studios, Bells offers youth art classes, artist-led workshops, and cultural programming including Ballet Folklórico, Aztec Dance, and yoga (Monday-Friday) with a suggested donation, making wellness and movement accessible to everyone. I've personally attended donation-based sound baths and their Día de Muertos event, and both were thoughtfully organized, welcoming, and grounded in community and cultural respect. The value here is undeniable. You are getting high-quality programming, meaningful cultural experiences, and direct support of local artists and educators, all without high price barriers. Parking is available in a small lot on site, though spaces are limited. Street parking is also available in the surrounding neighborhood. They also host First Fridays, which are always a great way to experience the space, meet artists, and support local creativity. Everything here feels intentional and community-driven. If you're looking for an affordable, enriching space that truly invests back into the community, Bells Art Factory is absolutely worth visiting and donating to.

I reached out to Isha from their website, and was blown away by how kind and helpful she was. I was toying with the idea of doing a private dance class, and she was eager to help, but unfortunately the timing wasn't quite right. In the end, we decided to attend the Beginners Bollywood Dance class together. I could not believe it was only $5. If I lived in Ojai, I'd be there every week, and telling all my friends about it! The class was energetic, approachable, fun, and a great work out. We had SO MUCH FUN. And Isha was an incredible instructor. She helped us take some cute pictures before the class began, and allowed our group to do the choreography together just us so we could record it. I cannot recommend Dance Ojai highly enough!

I recently purchased a pair of earrings from Ova Arts. Specifically, from Susan Hugo of Bee Hive…read moreJewelry. Ova carries her creations. Within an hour of my purchase one of my earrings was gone. I believe it was the clasp that broke. I immediately contacted the store and was told to contact Susan directly. Per their instructions I sent her an email along with pictures and politely inquired about having another matching earring made. It has been a month, and I have not heard anything. The business card number listed is the phone number for Ova Arts Jewelry. Ova Arts has many beautiful creations, and I was very disappointed to have had this happen. Be cautious when purchasing any items as if something does happen, you will not get any assistance. Additionally, I would ask if something were to happen, that there will be no issue in getting some guidance in getting 1) a replacement or 2) repair.
