We invite you to come see our fabulous exhibit, En Nuestra Imagen/In Our Image. Curator and artist Juan R. Fuentes has assembled a collection of over 85 works featuring artists from the San Francisco/Monterey Bay area. The exhibit addresses a distinct Chicana/o Latina/o perspective, with a wide range of techniques, mediums and varied styles and approaches. The works respond to unique environments, issues of gender, immigration, labor, culture, nature, humor and beauty.

Mi Casa es Tu Casa is PVAC's annual exhibit inspired by Día de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), a traditional holiday in Mexico that celebrates ancestors and others who have passed away. Altars (ofrendas) are built in homes to honor and remember the dead. Similar customs exist throughout the world and we share common ground with many cultures in our desire to honor and remember those whom we have lost.
PVAC invites you into "our" home to participate in Mi Casa es Tu Casa by building an altar to remember and celebrate those whom you have lost.
