Palos Verdes Art Center is celebrating its 95th Anniversary! What began in 1931 as a small, passionate circle of local artists and visionaries has grown into a vibrant cultural anchor, serving generations of creators, students, and art lovers across the South Bay.

Ninety-five years of operation is a testament to the resilience of our community and the enduring power of the visual arts. Because of dedicated supporters like you, PVAC has remained a place where children discover their creative voices, adults master new artistic disciplines, and world-class exhibitions are kept entirely free and open to the public.

Our rich history is only the foundation; as we look forward to our centennial and beyond, we are deeply committed to ensuring that the next century of arts education is more inclusive and accessible than ever before.

To honor our history and build this sustainable future, we are launching our 95th Anniversary Annual Appeal. Your support this season provides the vital funding needed to keep our core studio spaces thriving, while giving us the flexibility to grow, innovate, and expand our reach.

In celebration of 95 years of community art, we ask you to consider a special anniversary gift of $95, $195, $950, $9,500 or any amount that feels meaningful to you.

Every dollar raised stays right here, directly funding the high-quality classes, workshops, and exhibitions that define PVAC, while helping us build a more open and equitable creative home for everyone.

We are incredibly proud of our past, but we are even more excited about our future. Thank you for being an indispensable part of our story for the last 95 years, and for helping us paint a more accessible, vibrant canvas for the next century.
