Greetings From the Other Side!     


Even though PVA Gallery is closed, we are still working and meeting via new technologies. Our staff, Hedwig Heerschop, Linda Martin, and Brianna Flores are performing essential functions to keep our business going. In fact, they are participating in the Santa Cruz Volunteer Center virtual Human Race to raise funds for PVA. Support them at: Pajaro Valley Arts Human Race

We bid Adrienne Momi, Board President, a fond farewell as she has relocated to Northern California, and we thank her for her service. We would like to acknowledge our new and continuing officers: Aurelio Gonzalez, Ana Paula Teeple, Ome Garcia, and Judy Stabile for working through these difficult times to lead PVA.  We welcome new Board members, Jessica Carrasco, Gabriel Medina, and Monique Sanchez who join Trina Coffman-Gomez, Shirley Flores-Munoz, and Beth Shields, in serving our community gallery. 

Our ever committed Gallery and Education Committees are working behind the scenes to continue to provide the quality programming for which we are known. Our sincere thanks to all our volunteers, artists, and supporters.
