“PAVA is really excited about returning to the Coliseum,” Christina Paluszek-McClure, PAVA’s vice president and publicity/internet marketing chairperson, explained in an e-mail. “The Great Artwork Clearly show is our signature event and just one that both our artists and patrons genuinely search ahead to every yr. Not staying equipped to have it choose area final 12 months still left a void in all of us, and our artists are seriously thrilled to be in a position to have it yet again this yr to present and sell all the new artwork they have been building through the earlier 12 months.”

As a way to pivot during the pandemic, in September the PAVA opened a gallery in Dunedin. The gallery, aptly named the Great Art Shop, showcases the perform of its associates.
