Members’ Exhibition: Nov 13-Dec 13
A year-end celebration of PAC’s member artists. The opening reception will also feature an online auction, a raffle, and complimentary refreshments.
PAC’s Exhibition Committee Invites YOUR Ideas for Exhibitions
PAC generates 6 shows a year with two anchor shows (our Youth and Members Exhibitions). Our juried shows define our values of community and partnership. This means we don’t focus on a single artist but rather on concepts or themes that support more local and Bay Area artists. If you have curatorial experience and would like to be a guest curator, we’d love to hear your ideas!
