PVAC offers standards-based art education for more than 7,000 Peninsula students each year. Now in its 36th year, Art At Your Fingertips docents teach elementary school students through five creative projects. Projects are aligned with California Visual and Performing Arts Standards - incorporating artistic perception, creative expression and historical, cultural context and aesthetic valuing.
All five projects will be exhibited.
Student Art Exhibition: Partners In Art
Palos Verdes Art Center partnered with the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District as the schools implemented California arts education standards, which resulted with a dynamic program offered by PVAC, Partners In Art. Partners in Art brings sixth-graders, from all three public intermediate school locations, to the Art Center for exhibition tours and provides three classroom visits by an artist who teaches a related art project. Come see the fabulous work of our community’s sixth grade students.
All three projects will be exhibited.
Galleries are open Mondays through Saturdays 10-4pm and Sunday 1-4pm (except major holidays). Docent led tours are available by calling Education Director, Gail Phinney at (310) 541-2479. Galleries are free and open to the public.
