Part swap meet, part community celebration, this creative event invited members to browse free art supplies, enjoy plenty of food, and connect with fellow artists. With donated materials and strong participation, the fundraiser brought in support for the art center while keeping the atmosphere lively and fun.

During a creative trip to Idyllwild, HVAA members crafted handmade Valentine’s gifts in a pottery workshop led by Master Potter Art Tobias. From press molding to sgraffito and glazing, the experience blended learning and artistry into one memorable day.

Known locally as a gallery director, Art Majerus steps into the spotlight with an exhibition of photography and woodturning at the Redlands Art Association. HVAA members attended the reception to support and experience both familiar favorites and new work.

From drawing on grocery bags as a child to becoming a nine-time Artist of the Year, Betty Pilley’s artistic journey is one of passion, perseverance, and lifelong learning. Now a respected watercolor instructor and longtime HVAA member, she continues to inspire others through both her work and teaching.
