PVA  is pleased to announce that the gallery will open on a trial basis with a limited schedule starting Friday, July 10, with operating hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 11:00-4:00pm. A maximum of 12 people will be allowed in the gallery at a time (with three people per room), no appointment is necessary, masks and social distancing will be required, and there may be a waiting period for you to enter the gallery. We have set aside Wednesdays starting 7/1 for viewing the gallery by appointment.

Campesinos: Workers of the Land is an extraordinary exhibit honoring our essential farm workers that was juried and curated  by Consuelo Alba, Gabriel Medina, Ome Garcia and Judy Stabile.  Our participating artists, patiently awaiting the opening of the show,  have allowed us to keep their work through August 2. 
 
 
Not ready to leave your home? We invite you to take the Campesinos: Workers of the Land   virtual tour or any of the virtual tours we have posted to our website for the last three years.  If you would like a more detailed look at the individual pieces, check them out in our online galleries.

Have you visited our online Create-In-Place gallery? You are invited to share the artwork, poetry and writings that you have created during shelter-in-place. There are no deadlines to this, we update on a weekly basis. Your artworks may be inspired by the "shelter-in-place" experience, or your responses to current events.

Create-In-Place! is hosted on the PVA website and is a community exhibit and gathering place where we can acknowledge the challenges of these difficult times; recognize the suffering and stress many are experiencing; and encourage and celebrate the creativity and resiliency within our communities. Please join us!
To share your art, whatever form it takes, email a photograph (jpeg file), audio file or video file to [email protected].  Be sure to include your name and the title of your piece in your email.
