The Ventura College Foundation is the host of the Market Place - a farmer’s market and vendor site that operates each Saturday and Sunday on the Ventura College campus on Telegraph Road in Ventura. The Market Place is a link between the college and the community, and proceeds from this weekly event bring funds to the college and its students. Vendors pay a modest fee to display their items for sale. These funds are used for student scholarships, staff innovation grants, and many other projects undertaken by the Ventura College Foundation. The Market Place covers all its own costs, as well as the operating costs of the Ventura College Foundation.For additional information, call Paul Iannaccone, Executive Director of the Ventura College Foundation at (805) 654-6461.
