The Unveiling of "Venti" at the Thousand Oaks Inn
On July 28, 2020, Venti, one of the newest Conejo Cottontails was unveiled in front of the Thousand Oaks Inn. Venti was commissioned by the Inn and painted by local artist John Galan.
This cottontail was designed to depict the nature, history and life of the Conejo Valley. From the lions, tigers and bears that once lived at Jungleland in Thousand Oaks to the rolling hills of the Santa Monica Mountains.
Check out the video below to see the making of “Venti”!

The Unveiling of "Rosie" at Westlake City Hall
On September 4, 2019, Rosie was officially welcomed to her forever home at Westlake City Hall. The funding for Rosie came from the City's commitment to public art. The proceeds from the sale of Rosie are being used to bring an arts program to the seniors of Westlake Village. Rosie was created by artist Judy Koenig.
The Dedication Celebration was preceded by a Shibori Banner making activity facilitated by Art Trek. The colorful banners were a fitting embellishment to the festive atmosphere. At the unveiling, Mayor Ned Davis quipped about famous rabbits in history including Peter Cottontail, Bugs Bunny, and the Trix Rabbit to name a few. Mayor Pro Tem, Kelly Honig spoke about the importance of public art and expressed her delight in seeing Rosie each time she entered the City Hall Building.
A new home for one of our Cottontails!
A big THANK YOU to Everyone who donated to bring a Conejo Cottontail to the Cancer Support Community in Thousand Oaks, CA.
We can't wait to place a beautifully decorated cottontail at it's new home!
