    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

With a well-attended reception and over 130 impressive submissions, our distinguished juror had the challenging task of selecting the winners from an array of extraordinary pieces. Each awarded artwork reflects the skill, vision, and dedication of its creator, and we are honored to showcase the talent and creativity within our artistic community. Thank you to all who joined us to celebrate the art that is being created in our community and the many exceptional artists who submitted their work!

    If you missed the reception, there is still time to see the show. It runs through December 13 at the Hill School Center for the Arts, Boyer Gallery, 766 Beech Street, Pottstown PA. Access the gallery by calling Ellen Nelson at 610-705-1040 for an advance appointment.
