The PAL Gallery, sponsored by the Alameda Education Foundation (AEF), was inspired by the Rhythmix Performance, Art & Learning (PAL) program, to bring together visual artists whose work celebrates the local cultures and communities that make living in the Bay Area so unique. The PAL Gallery features artwork from Salma Arastu, Virginia Jourdan, Irene Juárez O’Connell and Talavera-Ballón. These artists create work that honors the people who have formed our communities, past and present, acknowledges the contributions of immigrants to our society, gives a new voice to unseen/unsung heroes in everyday life, and shows the interdependence of people, communities and all living beings on our earth.
