Claremont Village Art Walk
The first Saturday of every month in the Claremont Village is the CLAREMONT ART WALK, an evening where the various art galleries like Gallery SOHO, stay open a little later, offer snacks, and showcase various artists.
PVAA’s Gallery SOHO is a proud participant of Art Walk, and it is through events such as this that members of the Pomona Valley Art Association have an opportunity to exhibit their artwork at Gallery SOHO.
August 2025 Art Walk
Join us for this month’s Art Walk on Saturday, August 2. It’s a perfect opportunity to meet artists, see our newest Summer art installment, and take home a local masterpiece for yourself.
This month we are proud to feature Kathleen McCall and Susan Perry whose artwork will be exhibited on the patio of Gallery SOHO. Kathleen McCall is the current President of PVAA and Susan Perry is the Vice President. Come and meet the heads of our current administration this Saturday night!
Other PVAA members will attend and their artwork will be exhibited inside the gallery.
Kathleen McCall
Kathleen discovered in childhood that art gave her a sense of expression, freedom and permission to play "outside the box". She's always had art supplies, although occasionally used "found" supplies. One of her early attempts at playing "outside the box" was creating a colorful art piece for her grandmother. "I painted her toilet seat with her finest nail polishes; it was my first negative critique."
Susan Perry
Suzan’s artwork is an extension of her 48 years of training in Aikido, a Japanese martial art.
There she became influenced by Zen monks and Aikido Shihan in the ways of Eastern brush painting. She calls her art “Zen Brush Art” as a result.
Based on the basic brush strokes of Shodo (Japanese calligraphy), her training was to show the energy of her heart in each brush stroke:
she calls this “heart moving art.”
Art Walk is the 1st Saturday of every month
It is free and its hours are 6 pm-9 pm.
