The Winter Show is a juried all-media exhibition hosted by Palos Verdes Art Center, open exclusively to current PVAC members in good standing. The exhibition runs December 1, 2023 through January 6, 2024.

Juror Paloma Barhaugh-Bordas is a printmaker, artist, educator and activist from Denver. She earned her BA at Carleton College and her MFA in printmaking at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Her work has been shown at venues including the Handwerker Gallery, Buffalo Artist's Studios, and Sediment Arts, and she has attended residencies at Casa Lu, ACRE, the Women's Studio Workshop, the Kala Art Institute, and Japan's Mi-Lab.
