Exhibits & Member Shows
Our walls are always changing, with rotating exhibits that showcase the work of artists and photographers from across our community. Monthly member contests bring new themes and fresh artwork, with ribbon awards recognizing excellence in a variety of categories. Visitors can view and purchase many of these pieces, directly supporting the artists who create them.
Classes & Workshops in the Gallery
The gallery doubles as a working classroom, offering weekly art classes and special workshops in mediums such as drawing, watercolor, clay sculpting, and more. Students of all experience levels learn from practicing artists in an intimate, hands-on setting surrounded by inspiring artwork. From kids’ sessions to advanced groups, there is something for everyone who wants to grow their creative skills.
Beyond the walls, you will find a boutique area featuring handcrafted jewelry, textiles, decor, and other unique items made by local creators. We also offer art books, cards, and small works perfect for gifts or for adding a touch of art to your home. Every purchase directly supports both the individual artist and the ongoing work of Hemet Valley Art Association.
