Joshua Seitz

Joshua Seitz is a human sponge who roams the Ventura neighborhood soaking up the beautiful absurdity of modern life. A perennial dabbler, he has spent his adult years as a scientist, a lawyer, and a vagrant. Joshua has a distinct love for music and in particular, its ability to communicate emotion and reframe perspective. He is drawn to community art because it has the power to bring people together and break the routine.




Sara Peek

Sara Peek is an observational scientist at work and applies the same principles to the natural world – what do you see when you look closely? What happens if something changes? She is currently using this outlook to grow tomatoes.

This is the second art-related thing she’s done since college, and she’s happy to see it bringing people together.
