The non-profit REGIONAL ART MUSEUM is the fulfillment of a study initiated by the Conejo/Las Virgenes Future Foundation which determined the need for a visual arts museum. Prominent business and community leaders, educators, and artists representing the communities of the 101 Freeway corridor have become a Task Force to create a visual arts museum. The museum will offer access to, education of, and appreciation for contemporary and traditional fine arts. Locating the new museum in downtown Thousand Oaks on city-owned or provided land was unanimously approved in concept by the Thousand Oaks City Council in June 2010.The REGIONAL ART MUSEUM (RAM) will be a vital cultural resource for the City of Thousand Oaks, its neighboring communities, and visitors to our region. RAM will exhibit traditional visual arts genres, styles, and materials as we know them. Contemporary exhibits will be introduced that may include video, digital, website and other electronic art, as well as new forms and techniques yet to be developed.
RAM will build its collections, recruit donors to build and support the museum, hire a professional curator, partner with other art museums, and enable docents to share their knowledge about exhibits with the public. Educational programs will be developed with the local school districts and universities to support cultural and art studies of all elementary, middle, high school and university students. Adult education programs will be diversified in scope.
In planning its exhibits RAM will be responsive to community needs and interests. For more than 15 years, the region has enjoyed and supported world-class performances at the Civic Arts Plaza. The REGIONAL ART MUSEUM located adjacent to the Civic Arts Plaza theaters will provide enjoyment and appreciation of distinguishable visual art.
