The Peninsula Museum of Art occupies half of the main
floor of the Twin Pines Art Center. The other main-floor occupants are the
Belmont Arts Council Gallery and the office of ARTshare of San Mateo County.
Artists rent the upstairs rooms for their working studios.
PMA’s "starter home" provides a wonderful environment for art, located as it
is in a lovely park in the middle of the Peninsula. The Twin Pines Art
Center site includes one formal gallery, a reference library, and museum
store.
As the Museum grows and develops, additional gallery
space and art education facilities will be needed. Since PMA’s current home
in the historic building in Belmont’s Twin Pines Park cannot be modified to
meet these needs, the Museum has begun a site search and Building Fund.
The
PMA Governing Board celebrated receipt of a million dollar donation
from Charles Homer at the December Board meeting. Toasting Mr. Homer
are (from left) Arabella Decker, Mr. Homer, Dr. Christine Bennett,
Board President Ruth Waters, and Jerry Emanuel.
The Building Fund was launched Dec. 2, 2005,
with the donation of $1,000,000 (yes, One Million Dollars!) by Charles Homer
of San Mateo.
