Founded in 1969, PAL is a group of local artists dedicated to making the visual arts an integral part of the fabric of life in the Tri-Valley Area, according to its website. This active organization was established to encourage the progress and development of the creative talent of its members, which includes artists of all skill levels, from the beginner to the hobbyist, to the professional artists. But the membership is not limited to practicing artists, rather also welcomes art lovers and patrons as well. In addition to the camaraderie, PAL offers discussions and workshops, and secures venues for exhibiting and selling artwork.
