Palo Alto Art Club

The Pacific Art League (PAL), formally known as the Palo Alto Art Club was founded in 1921 in Palo Alto, California and is a membership-run nonprofit arts organization, school, and gallery.[1] The group is located in a historic building at 668 Ramona Street in downtown Palo Alto.[1]

About

The Pacific Art League employs roughly 35-40 instructors and as of 2017, has over 2,000 students enrolled per quarter.[2] Classes are on a quarterly system, and additionally they offer workshops and summer camps.[2] From 2019–2020, director of PAL was Lisa Coscino.[3]

History

The Palo Alto Art Club was founded in 1921.[1] The initial founders of the club were around 40 artists of upper class and many were connected to Stanford University.[4][5] In the beginning the club met at member's houses, later they met at the Palo Alto Library, and by 1926, they moved to 340 Melville Avenue.[5] In 1952, the group moved to 855 Cowper Street due to the popularity of classes.[5] Over time the club became more democratic and community-centered, it is now a nonprofit.[4]

In 1965, PAL purchased thebuilding and moved to its current location at 668 Ramona Street, in a historical Spanish Revival building designed by Birge Clark.[5][6] In 2014, the building had a $4 million renovation which included compliance with the American Disabilities Act and seismic retrofit.[1]

In 1984, the name changed from Palo Alto Art Club to the current, Pacific Art League.[7]
