Gallery SOHO

Gallery SOHO’s Sunday morning ArtPark on the patio and sidewalk showcases local artists and occasional demonstrations, offering a pleasant community gathering with fresh work to enjoy. ArtPark takes place on the 2nd and 4th Sundays each month and we would love to see you there. This month on January 25 we are featuring Lucien van Oosten and Mary Ridler. So come support local artists, meet the makers, and don’t forget to stroll over to the Harvard Street Farmers’ Market while you’re visiting the PVAA’s Gallery SOHO.

During February, PVAA’s Gallery SOHO presents The Red Theme — a month-long celebration of works where red is more than a color. Our member artists explore red’s many meanings: passion, warmth, courage, warning, love, revolution, and memory. Expect paintings, mixed media, textiles, ceramics, and photography that use red as focal point, accent, or emotional driver.

Visit Gallery SOHO to experience:

  • Bold compositions that command attention

  • Subtle uses of crimson and vermilion to evoke mood

  • Inventive contrasts and textures that make red sing

  • Works that reinterpret cultural and personal associations with red

Join us for special artist talks and informal walkthroughs throughout February to hear the stories behind the pieces and learn how red shapes artistic choices. Whether you love red or want to see it anew, this exhibit invites you to look deeper — red is more than a color.

Mary Ridler, is an acrylic painter who loves to paint pictures from places she’s traveled to and things she’s seen and inspires her.

Lucien van Oosten makes contemporary art with graphite, colored pencil, India ink, markers, and acrylics. He uses stippling, pointillism, rendering, and painting. His collectible animal art cards will be displayed at ArtPark on 1/25/26, 10 AM–2 PM, at Gallery SOHO in the Claremont Village.
