Small works of art on display at Portola Art Gallery in December

The Portola Art Gallery presents “Six by Six” — a collection of works that are small in size (6×6”), but large in value and creativity. Each artist will be exhibiting a four-piece set, which can be purchased together or individually.

These paintings, photographs, ceramics, woodworking, sculpture, and glassware make owning an original piece of art easier for the first time buyer, and make wonderful gifts.

A reception will be held on Saturday, December 6, from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Founded in 1981 to showcase the work of local artists, the Portola Art Gallery was originally located in Portola Valley’s turn-of-the-century little red schoolhouse in the town center off of Portola Road. In 1996, the gallery was moved next to the town’s library, where it remained until relocating to Allied Arts Guild (75 Arbor Rd.)  in 2006. As a cooperative gallery, the 22 members — all from the Bay Area — share in the duties and costs of running the gallery. New artists are juried in as members leave.
