UPCOMING EVENTS
Big Day Of Giving 2025
Join us on Thursday, May 1st for 24 hours of giving, and a free hotdog lunch from 12-1 PM, to show our appreciation for our members and donors.
The Pence Gallery has faced recent vandalism and threats, leaving us concerned for our staff and visitors. Additionally, we have had to cut back on
our beloved youth programs. During this year’s Big Day of Giving, we’re reaching out to ask for your support to make youth programming reachable and the Pence Gallery safer for all. All gifts regardless of size are welcomed and appreciated! To give and have your gift matched by a generous pool of donors, please visit

This is an ‘open theme’ exhibit, which showcases art that is conceptually thoughtful, technically skilled, and representative of contemporary trends in art. Applicants may submit between 1- 3 images of work for review, with an artist statement and resume, at www.callforentry.org by May 16th, 9 PM PST. …
Art in Action
Art in Action is a drop-in program for ages 5-12 that engages kids in art projects that are fun, creative, and collaborative with their family members. No registration is required, but space and supplies are limited to the first 25 participants per session. Please note that starting in 2025, the Art in Action program is moving to one workshop per quarter due to limited funding. We’ll be offering two sessions per workshop, however, to include more opportunities for families to participate.
