Wish You Were Here:
The Postcard Show

April - June 2020

In 1921 when the Pacific Art League was first formed, our Mission Statement was to “encourage friendship among artists”. Now almost 100 years later, PAL continues to promote friendship and connections between creatives in our community.

With the theme “Wish You Were Here” this show features postcard-sized (4”x6”) art inspired by experiences sheltering-in-place during the Covid-19 pandemic. Our community of artists, at all levels and media, share their experience through creative expression through postcards.

Looking to the Future

Due to the shelter in place ordinance we were unable to have a physical version of this show. We hope in the future, when the time is right, we’ll bring this show back into our gallery space.

Here is a sample of the nearly 400 pieces of art submitted to Wish You Were Here: The Postcard Show.
