We want to thank Skip for all that he does for PVAC.  After Mi Casa, we spent a few days painting, caulking, and cleaning. Skip was right there with us, making sure the gallery was ready for Sleight of Hand.  He has spent numerous hours helping with hanging this exhibit, and might we say, his height helped us hang "Sleight!"  Skip is one of our "go-to" people when we are hanging shows, need technical advice, and just want someone fun with whom we can work.  Thank you Skip!

We closed this year out with another stellar exhibit: Mi Casa es tu Casa.  We can't thank Tracy Heller-LeCroy of Wild Rose Artist' Supplies enough for curating this community event.  Not only did she volunteer hours of her time, but her in-kind donations made this year's show an event!  The altars were fabulous, the reception was festive, and attendance levels and school tours were at an all time high.  In addition to the community altars in the gallery this year we exhibted internationally recognized Papel Picado (cut paper) artist, Catalina Delgado Trunk. Tracy and her Wild Rose crew framed all of  this amazing collection of Mexican folk art which was loaned to us from the collection of Cheryl Marquez, of Tortilla Flats in Soquel.   We thank guest curator, Tracy Heller-LeCroy of Wild Rose Artists' Supplies and Custom Framing, for working so hard to present another spectacular celebration of Dia de Los Muertos.
