Opening Reception

Friday, October 3 | 5:30–8:00 PM
Pacific Art League | 668 Ramona St., Palo Alto

Join us for an evening of creativity and community as we celebrate the opening of two dynamic exhibitions at Pacific Art League.

Simeon James Dumas: Decade² – In an Instant

October 3 – 28 | Forest Gallery

With Decade² – In an Instant, artist Simeon James reflects on over twenty years of growth, exploration, and discovery. The title carries dual meaning: both a span of two decades and the multiplying effect of time. Returning home after nearly that same stretch, this exhibition is a full-circle moment bridging past and present.

In an Instant captures the paradox of the artistic journey—how every sudden breakthrough is built on years of persistence, transformation, and quiet evolution.

Abstraction

October 3 – 28 | Ramona Gallery

Step into a world where imagination takes center stage. Abstraction celebrates the limitless possibilities of non-representational art—bold colors, sweeping gestures, and intricate details that invite us to feel deeply and think differently.

This exhibition brings together diverse artistic voices, each pushing beyond the everyday to reveal emotions and ideas that words alone cannot capture.

✨ Complimentary refreshments will be served.
✨ Meet the artists and connect with fellow art lovers.
✨ Free and open to the public.

We can’t wait to welcome you for this special night at PAL!
