Take Aways: Art To Go!

January 7 - February 15, 2015
Artwork by Beth Shields, Jan Gregorius and Daniella Woolf.

Reception: January 11 from 2:00-4:00


 

Curated by Jane Gregorius and Susan Matulich, Take Aways: Art To Go! is an incredibly rich and vibrant show featuring over fifty artists. The exhibit will change every time you visit, as we are selling the art right off the wall during our annual fundraiser. Artists will replenish their work as pieces sell. Everyone benefits: the artists get their normal commission, PVAC receives their normal commission, and you take home a fabulous piece of affordable art! All pieces are priced at under $300.
