Artist Bio:
Andrew Samuel Harrison is a self-taught artist recently relocated from Richmond, VA to New York City, where he awaits the start of the MFA Fine Art program at Parsons School of Design. 'With The Bulls' refocuses his mixed technique practice on raw mark-making and spontaneous composition as an ongoing, iterative method of coding his visual language. Recalling his writing background, the resulting gestalt annotates his rejection of the insider-outsider art world binary he gleans from living with a limb difference.
Our featured artist for the month of April is Richmond based artist, Pedro Ledesma III. The show opens during Friday for the Arts, on April 14th, 2023 from 6PM-9PM, and will run during PAAL’s open hours (Wednesday - Saturday 10-5) until May 6, 2023.

February 10 - March 4, 2023
Our featured artist for the month of February is contemporary artist, Dathan Kane. Kane was born in Hampton, Virginia and presently works and lives in the Tidewater area. He graduated from Virginia State University in 2014 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Art & Design. His focus is on emphasizing organic black/white abstract shapes to create bold compositions on the choices we make, and the duality of such conventional or unconventional decisions.

Bill Nicholson is the President of PAAL and has been on the board of the Barbara Sinatra Children's Center for over 10 years. Through PAAL, Bill is merging his two great passions, the arts and the welfare of children, giving a voice to children who feel they are not heard. The BSCC has created animated videos to help teach children how to identify predators and to protect themselves. These videos have surpassed over 1 billion impressions and over 102,000,000 (One hundred two million views.) One of my goals is to get these into all local schools.
