It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved founder, benefactor, mentor and friend, Julia Frances Campbell Namba.
Steadfast in her love and support for the arts and our community, Julia has been essential to the foundation and growth of the performing arts in Ventura. She will be sorely missed and always loved.
Seven years ago Julia and her husband Ben Namba supported the launch of our performance lab space, where performers could refine their expression and an audience could be stimulated and entertained. Through NAMBA, she brought Performing Arts to the forefront of our Ventura Community – a place where hope can thrive. In this video, Julia, the consummate educator and storyteller, shares The Monk and The Rabbi; a tale of how simple encouragement can bring about hope and renewal. It is a great representation of how she nurtured us all.
We are indebted to Julia and Ben Namba for their vision and support to offer Music, Dance and Theatre. Please join them in supporting NAMBA Performing Arts Space by seeing a show, buying a membership or donating to the space
Julia Campbell Namba (1936 – 2022) shares the compelling back story of how NAMBA Performing Arts Space came to be, as a legacy project by and for her late husband, Ben Namba (1930 – 2020).
Like Julia, Ben was a generous & longtime supporter of the arts in Ventura, California and elsewhere.
Founded in 2014, Namba Performing Arts Space, Inc. is a 501c3 organization. Please join us in supporting the arts in our community; sponsor a show, workshop or series; become a member; share your talent/culture or come to see a show. NAMBA looks forward to hosting you!
