Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 97 reviews
Admission is $5. Guided tours are $10. Led by Kevin Wallace, Director of the Center, the guided tour includes the Permanent Collection, Current Exhibitions, and Beatrice Wood’s Studio. Wallace shares insight into Beatrice Wood’s involvement in the New York Dada Movement, the Theosophical Society, the creation of the Happy Valley Foundation, and Beatrice Wood’s unique approach to art and life. The Center is located ten minutes from downtown Ojai. Who was Beatrice Wood? Beatrice Wood was an important contemporary artist, craftsperson and writer. Her life ran the course of the 20th century and included many of the figures that shaped it. Ultimately, her genius was in the marriage of wide-ranging influences in her work. The spirit of Dadaism, impact of Modernism, embrace of Eastern philosophy, influence of folk art and even the ornament of ethnic jewelry were all combined in her ceramics.

Beatrice Wood was a unique woman & her Center in Upper Ojai is worth seeing. It’s a fabulous large ranch like property, obviously she had money! You will able to see her famous high gloss ceramics & read a bit about her life —if you are unfamiliar with the “Mother of Dada.”

I met Carlos at a pop-up art event in LA a few years ago and recalled that he lived in Ojai. So when I was planning a visit to the area, I reached out to him and he said he would be here and to stop by. What a great gallery and collection of art from a variety of local artists. Carlos was there, friendly as always. Such a talented man; his art is just wonderful! It was so nice to chat with him and take a look around at all the amazing work displayed and for sale. And of course, take home a little something. So glad I was able to spend some time here. Will definitely be back! So good to see you, Carlos!
