THE CIRCLE also sponsors art-oriented educational programs for its membership.
Best Ever
Collected Treasures
Estate Sale!
Our 3-Day Collected Treasures Estate Sale event reached new all-time highs both in attendance as well as funds raised for Palos Verdes Art Center! Its value as a fundraiser continues to grow as this year’s sale exceeded 2024 by over $20,000.
Collected Treasures would not be possible without the generosity of our friends and neighbors in the South Bay community, who donate a wide array of artwork, jewelry, china and silver pieces, furniture, household goods, clothing, and other specialty items. We much appreciate and value your remembering The Circle of Palos Verdes Art Center when you are making your donations.
Our gratitude also goes to Redondo Van and Storage Company for both the storage space that they so generously share with us as well as the support and helpfulness of their staff. It’s no surprise that they have won the South Bay’s Best Annual Readers' Choice Awards for so many consecutive years!
It must be noted that we could not have accomplished this landmark Collected Treasures fundraising with out the dedication of all our members. It takes a village to present this event, and their support makes it possible!
If you are thinking of making donations for March 2026 Collected Treasures Estate Sale, drop off of items at PV Art Center is starting soon.
Collection dates are as follows: 12-2 pm on June 18, July 16, August 13, October 15; 1-3 pm on September 17 and November 19

The Gala featuring a Dinner, Entertainment, and Silent Auction, is the kickoff, a grand celebration of both our Circle fundraising and nearly 95 years of having Palos Verdes Art Center as an art hub in our community.
