I already put antifreeze in my 2000 Chevy venture but the coolant light is still on. Do I have a head gasket problem?

You may or may not have a head gasket problem.
If you put the coolant in the overflow tank, then it may not have been drawn into the cooling system yet. When you add coolant, it needs to be added at the radiator cap (when the vehicle is cool) and it needs to be filled all the way up to the very top. Then the overflow tank needs to be about half full, or at the "Full Cold" mark, if you can see it. The coolant level sensor is actually in the radiator, just below the radiator cap.
This is all assuming that the coolant light you are referring to is the "Low Coolant" indicator. If you are referring to the indicator that says the engine is overheating, then that is a different issue. In either case, the sensors need to be checked before deciding if you have a head gasket problem.
Take Care, Greg

1998 Chevy venture low coolant light is on and I keep losing water somewhere but I don't see where?
I have this same problem and it seems I have a bad manifold gasket. I keep losing antifreeze. This is not a cheap fix (for me)...around $800-900 because it's apparently very labor intensive. You may want to get yours looked at to see if you have the same problem.
Should you put antifreeze in radiator instead of water?
No If You Have A Chevy Venture Van Like I Do Just Shoot Your SelfA correct and useful answerAll modern cars require a coolant mixture of a specific antifreeze and water. In some warm climates the mixture is water and corrosion inhibitor's.YOU MUST add the correct mixture of water and antifreeze!

Blown head gasket.
What kind of antifreeze do you use for a 2000 Chevy Venture?
Manual calls for DEX-COOL It actually depends on what type of coolant is in it now. If it's green, it's been traded out with normal coolant. If it's reddish, it still has DEX-COOL in it. NOTE: you should never mix the two types together. DEX-COOL and normal coolant can clog up the system if mixed together. Some places sell a type that is safe for either type of system, but i'd go with whichever is currently in your system, $5 for a gallon of regular coolant or $8 for DEX-COOL but it improves expectancy of your heating and cooling system (which the venture sure can use)

What are the challenges to making a full-sized electricity operated car?
It's been done already. The biggest problem with making it a marketable venture is limitations on battery life.
