15 Years Supporting Bay Area Art & Artists

Burlingame has been its home since 2013. Unfortunately, their landlord has terminated their lease early, and they are now looking for a new location. Any leads or assistance would be most welcome! They are surfacing new possibilities, all of which will benefit the Peninsula community it serves.

Meanwhile, right now the museum has five extraordinary exhibits up and it is a great time to take a moment and plan a visit.

From the Stone Age to the Digital Age:

Sculpture by Oleg Lobykin

Oleg Lobykin has roots in the craft of Old World stone carving, yet considers himself a sculptor and “an international man and product of globalization.” His recent sculptures in organic abstract shapes, sometimes highly shiny and brightly colored in fiberglass or earth tones and constructed of natural stone or bronze, express harmony between the natural and man-made worlds

Overgrown:

Fiber Sculpture by Heather Deyling

Heather Deyling is an artist and educator who creates colorful site-specific two-and three-dimensional installations which spill over into architectural space, creating contrast between the organic and the man-made.

Mood & Movement:

Large-scale Paintings by Suhas Bhujbal

Suhas Bhujbal captures abundant ambiance, mood and movement in his figurative paintings. Many of his giant pieces brim with people and color, pulling the viewer into vibrant imaginary settings; others are informed by his regular meditation practice, with an overwhelming peacefulness apparent in his canvases.

Expanding Universe:

Constructed Paintings by Howard Hersh

In Howard Hersh’s constructed paintings, on birch plywood panels affixed to unpainted basswood and poplar, he explores two complementary bodies of work, which he characterizes as “two means to an end.”

Topography:

Mixed-Media Works by Robin Mullery

Robin Mullery’s Topography series explores the arrangement of both natural and artificial landscapes, its irregularly cracked and troweled surfaces in earth-palette hues suggesting plains, plateaus, and fissures.

PMA is also home to the Museum Studios, 30 working artist studios where visual artists work and exhibit their creations in painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, jewelry, fiber art, and millinery. Museum Studios artists open their studios twice a year to the public - this May 4th and 5th during Silicon Valley Open Studios weekend, and in October. Specific times and dates will be available on the museum’s website.

Museum Studios offer a great space for local artists to come together and create wonderful work for everyone to enjoy. Classes are also available from studio artists, information on the website.

PMA's Mission Statement:

The Peninsula Museum of Art is a 501(c)3 nonprofit corporation that enhances our community and enriches lives through art and education. The inclusion of artists’ studios as a department of the Museum is a deliberate effort to bridge the gap between the creative community of professional-level artists and the community at large.

Museum Hours: 11am to 5pm Wednesday through Sunday. Free admission and parking in our lot. Please visit the Museum in person, online at peninsulamuseum.org, or find us on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. 1777 California Drive, Burlingame, CA 94010, main telephone: 650-692-2101
