From now until May 11, art lovers can stop by the Museum on Main to view the annual “Imagination Expressed” exhibit, presented by the Pleasanton Art League. In the 2024 display, PAL members showcase some of their most intricate and thoughtful work.
Museum representatives said the exhibit will “dazzle the eyes, engage the minds, and nourish the spirits of visitors.” This year marks PAL’s 15th “Imagination Expressed” show.
“These are some of the best artists and creators Pleasanton and the Tri-Valley has to offer. We are dedicated to connecting with and uplifting groups like the Pleasanton Art League,” Museum on Main curator Ken MacLennan said.
The exhibition highlights local talents who use a range of mediums. Paintings, sculptures, photographs and mixed-media installations combine to create a dynamic visual landscape.
Founded in 1969, PAL is a collective of local artists seeking to support and enrich the Tri-Valley art scene. Its members host exhibitions, meetings and other events throughout the year.
Select PAL artists will appear at the museum for live art demonstrations and community discussions during Imagination Expressed’s 2024 run. These include Wei-Ting Chuang (East Asian brush painting), Vyjayanthi Malladi (batik), Meghana Mitragotri (watercolor floral and landscape), Charlotte Severin (watercolor), Anuja Goyal (mixed media), Olga Symoneko (soft pastel) and Lorraine Wells (watercolor).
Jen Huber and Tuan Karsevar will have a joint acrylic and oil demonstration.
“We’re happy to be partnering with them and to have the 2024 exhibit at our museum. It’s a beneficial collaboration that positively impacts everyone – the community members, the artists, art buyers and of course the Museum on Main,” MacLennan added. “When people come out to visit, they are not only supporting the local creators but the museum as well.”
Many works on display will be available for purchase through PAL. To find more information on the PAL’s “Imagination Expressed 2024” exhibit, including specific artist demonstration times, visit www.museumonmain.org.
