Conejo Valley Art Museum, Art museum in Thousand Oaks, California, US
The Conejo Valley Art Museum is a nonprofit art museum in Thousand Oaks, California. It presents rotating exhibitions of work by local and sometimes national artists, and occasionally offers art classes and community events.
The museum was founded in 1978, inspired by a sculpture exhibit held in the area in 1975 that drew community interest. Over the years it moved several times, including a long stay at Janss Marketplace from 2011 until around 2024.
The museum regularly shows rotating work from artists who live and work in the Conejo Valley area. Visitors often find staff and volunteers ready to talk about the pieces on display, making the experience feel personal.
The museum is located in Thousand Oaks and can be reached on foot from the main downtown area. Before visiting, it is worth checking the museum's website, as opening hours and the current location may change while a permanent home is being sought.
The museum's very first exhibition in 1978 was dedicated to Navajo rugs and took place in a donated space. Over the years it has shown work by photographers such as Ansel Adams and Edward Curtis alongside local artists, all without ever having a permanent building.
