I have been inviterd by the curators to participate in this invitational exhibit, where I'll have 6-10 pieces under $350. for sale. I'm excited to be part of this group, so save the date. I won't be able to make the opening reception, as we have another committment.... but this is a great fundraiser for the Pajaro Valley Arts.

In this lively show, buyers can take home the artwork they purchase the very day they buy it—a dynamic format that makes the event a perennial favorite among PVA supporters. This exhibition not only brings art directly into the hands of collectors but also generates essential revenue to support Pajaro Valley Arts’ nonprofit programming.

If you’re unfamiliar with the show’s roots, it began as Take Aways: Art to Go!, conceived by PVA member Susanna Waddell over a decade ago to create a faster-paced, artist-friendly sale that benefitted the artist, PVA, and the buyer alike. Over the years, it became a beloved annual tradition. After pausing in 2025 to reimagine the format, we are thrilled to introduce Hot off the Walls: Art to Go!—a refreshed, contemporary take on the original concept, still serving as a vital fundraiser for PVA and our creative community.
