Year End Celebration and Beyond

Thursday, December 14, 5:30-7:30pm

We’re marking the end of our 15th Anniversary on Thursday, December 14 with our 'Year End Celebration and Beyond' event.  This is a moment to express our thanks for our members' continued loyalty and support and to honor 15 years of bringing joy and creativity to the Petaluma community.  Each board member will share various aspects about PAC -- our accomplishments, our vision going forward, feedback from you in response to our survey, and goals for our financial well-being.  There is much to be proud of and to celebrate.  The evening will include refreshments from Preferred Sonoma Caterers, raffle prizes, networking, mingling and the announcement of our silent auction winners.

We hope you will join us.

Members' Exhibition and Silent Auction

November 16 - December 16

Hours:  Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 12-4pm

Note our special Sunday holiday hours

The Petaluma Arts Center's Members' Exhibition showcases the work of 167 artists, a powerful representation of the strength of our artistic community.  It is one of PAC's most  important exhibitions because it’s such a unifying event.  We hope you'll visit the center to experience the talent and creative expression of our artist members.

Thank you to the 47 artists who donated a work for our silent auction – something the center hasn’t done in a number of years.  The starting bids are an opportunity to purchase an artwork from someone you've been following in the community or a gift purchase for the holidays.
