Thank You for Celebrating With Us!
50th Anniversary
Membership Celebration
Thank you to everyone who joined us to celebrate the Pence Gallery’s 50th Anniversary. It was an unforgettable evening filled with inspiration, connection, and community.
We proudly honored Nancy Roe and Joanne Andresen for their extraordinary generosity and longtime friendship. Artists Manuel Fernando Rios and Charlene Will shared heartfelt reflections on how the Pence has supported and shaped their creative journeys.
Together, we honored our remarkable past, celebrated our vibrant present, and looked ahead to an exciting future. This milestone was more than a celebration—it was the beginning of the next 50 years of building community through the arts.
The proverbial icing on the cake was a video celebrating 50 Years at the Pence: a Visual History. Watch the video!
