The Wilson Gallery is the former chapel of the St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church. It's the perfect place to start, or expand, your knowledge of the Ojai Valley. It features small exhibits on a range of local history topics, a featured local artist, and the Sespe Wilderness diorama. Families love the diorama.
Our rotating gallery typically changes three times per year. We feature original exhibitions on a wide variety of local history topics, showcase valley artwork, and highlight the Ojai Valley's culture.
Behind the building, surrounding our patio and parking lot, is a Chumash Interpretive Garden. You'll find many plants important to the local Chumash community. As with any garden, it's constantly changing.
