Pianos of Petaluma has been showcasing a collection of these well known works of musical public art for the past decade, and this year’s exhibit finds its way to the Petaluma Arts Center main gallery beginning April 1st, 2021, with almost 30 hand-painted pianos to view and play.
Members Exhibition 2020/2021
For more than a decade Petaluma Arts Center has hosted the annual Members Exhibition show. Members of Petaluma Arts Center are asked to create one piece for the collection, untethered by theme, resulting in a wide variety of works, artistic mediums, and spotlighting the abundant artistic talent in our area. For the first time, with over fifty pieces in the collection, the 2020/2021 Members Exhibition will exhibit online. Although the show has been installed in the main gallery at PAC, with the county temporary closure visitors local and farther afield will still be able to tour this prolific collection.
Celebrating Family: Black History Month 2021
In honor of national Black History Month, Petaluma Blacks for Community Development (PBCD) and Paige Green Photography have co-created the exhibit Celebrating Family. The show features over 70 black and white portraits of diverse Petaluma families, who each share what “family” means to them. Over 46 storefronts in downtown Petaluma are displaying the portraits from January 29th to March 15th, 2021.
