Happy Thanksgiving from the Perkiomen Valley Art Center!

As we gather to reflect on the year, we are filled with gratitude for our vibrant artistic community. Together, we welcomed new board members, hosted three remarkable art shows—including our Member Show at the Mennonite Heritage Center, the Body of Work Show at Montgomery County Community College, and the Juried Show at the Hill School.

We also had the privilege of hosting five inspiring Art Talks, offering classes throughout the year, and supporting the next generation of artists by sponsoring a scholarship for a high school senior.

None of this would have been possible without your talent, dedication, and support. Thank you for being an essential part of our journey. Wishing you a Thanksgiving filled with joy, creativity, and cherished moments.

With gratitude,
The Perkiomen Valley Art Center
