Over the past few years Pfac has strived to present the highest quality experience possible by offering wide-ranging exhibitions of fine art from around the world, and with them programs presented by leaders in the field. With this maturing, we have been able to attract top talent to present even more experiences throughout the year.
Pfac membership offers perks: members-only events and invitations; discounts and early registration on Studio Art School classes; discounts on Gallery Shop and Collectors’ Gallery purchases, full access to our exhibitions, Hands On For Kids Gallery, Family Activity Center, and much more—but the biggest perk of all is keeping art alive and vibrant on the Peninsula.

PFAC Art Start Program Offers Preschool Activities Each Wednesday
Preschoolers get a very early introduction to art in the Peninsula Fine Arts Center’s Art Start program, now in its second year.
The program, funded in part by Wells Fargo, offers guided art activities at 10:30 a.m. each Wednesday for students ages 2-5. The activities have no additional cost beyond adult admission. While creating new crafts each week, preschoolers boost their fine motor skills, think creatively and socialize with other young artists.
Students must be accompanied by an adult. Registration for each week's classes is required by the preceding Friday and walk-ins cannot be accommodated if the class is at capacity. RSVP tojdobson@pfac-va.org .
Dec. 3: Koinobori Flying Carp: We’ll make our own versions of this traditional Japanese decorative streamer using tissue paper, toilet paper rolls and yarn!
Dec. 17: Holiday Wreathes: Preschoolers can hang their own wreath at home, created with paper plates, pom poms and yarn.
In addition to Art Start, PFAC offers two Saturday classes this fall for preschoolers. From 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Nov. 15, little authors can decorate their own books, then draw what they’re grateful for, just in time for Thanksgiving. Both classes are $12 for members and $15 for nonmembers per class. To register, call (757) 596-8175.
