STATE OF THE VORTEX

Exciting news: VORTEX is merging with Ojai Hub! We're thrilled to take over the role of delivering Ojai's weekly events right to your inbox. This means alongside the VORTEX content you enjoy, you'll now also get updates about local events, Ojai Quarterly highlights, and the latest from Bret Bradigan's Ojai Talk of the Town podcast.

What this means for you: expect a few more emails from us to keep you well-informed about what's happening in and around town. We aim to ensure you're always up-to-date with local stories, gallery openings, and Ojai Creatives to Stream.

We're excited about this merger and look forward to bringing you even more of Ojai. Thanks for staying with us, and here's to what's ahead!

MEET BRET

Whatever. You know Bret. Bret Bradigan is more than just a name in Ojai; he's a cornerstone of our community. As the brains behind Ojai Quarterly & Ojai Monthly and the voice of the "Ojai: Talk of the Town" podcast, Bret's been shaping our local scene with stories and insights that matter. I have teamed up with Bret before, and we're both pumped to join forces again. It's all about bringing you the best of Ojai, and with Bret in the mix, we're sure it's going to be awesome.
