Howard Ikemoto Cabrillo Scholarship Fund
We invite you to join us in honoring Howard Ikemoto. This wonderful piece by Howard is being auctioned off by PVA at
Charity Auctions
. The opening bid on this piece is $3000, or you may make a donation to the fund on this site. We would like to remember the incredible contribution Howard made to the community of artists in Santa Cruz County, by naming a scholarship fund in his honor at Cabrillo College. Pajaro Valley Arts is proud to display this piece in our gallery though the course of the auction. We have shown Howard's work, as well as generations of his students' work. We are a family of artists, students, educators and art fanatics, who want to honor a man who enriched our lives.
All proceeds will go to the Howard Ikemoto Scholarship fund.
Transitions was painted by Howard Ikemoto in 1992. It is oil on canvas, with unpainted wrapped edges 1½" deep. Unframed, this painting is ready to hang. It is 42" w x 66" h, and
was donated by the Ikemoto family.

Do you need to take a Required Minimum Distribution (RMD) from your IRA account this year? These annual withdrawals are subject to ordinary income taxes.
You might consider making a charitable contribution to PVA directly from your IRA. Charitable contributions from your IRA can satisfy your RMD without having to report additional income. Talk to your financial advisor to find out if this arrangement creates a tax benefit for you!
