The Pelham Art Center invites the community to join its fall fundraiser, a celebratory event that helps fund critical programs and the PAC’s vitality.

Our event, Studio Cafe: Punk Rock,  will take place on Saturday, November 8, 2025 at the Pelham Art Center’s Fifth Avenue location. All proceeds benefit and directly support Pelham Art Center’s mission, providing art education, art classes, teen programs, internships, and community programs that inspire our community and artists of all ages. As a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, Pelham Art Center depends on the generous support of friends and community.  

The evening will include food & cocktails all donated by local restaurants,  live mural painting, and DJ music provided by Stephen ByField.   

Silent auctions will offer a plethora of compelling items and experiences for bidding. 

Also featured for purchase will be original 1×1 artworks from over 40 local, regional, and national artists, priced at $250 each and sold anonymously. Artists will be revealed at the time of purchase—a great opportunity to add to your collection. 

General Admission Tickets are available for $125.

Limited VIP tickets are also available for $150 and will include the following added experiences:  

• – A pre-event starting at 6 pm with a first look and opportunity for purchase of artwork from the 1×1 “secret” art sale—featuring work by artists whose identity is only revealed after a work of art has been purchased.
• – Prosecco & Passed hors d’oeuvres hour donated from our local community.
• – FREE drink ticket to Punk Rock after party at North Pelham Bar & Grill, Pelham.
• – A special USA vs. UK DJ-curated punk-centric music hour by DJ Stephen Byfield

This year’s Studio Cafe is chaired by board members Fred Gallo and Rosemary Maggiore along with a robust host committee made up of board and community members dedicated to the Pelham Art Center’s mission and continued success.  

“Studio Cafe offers a unique opportunity to celebrate the Pelham Art Center’s influence on the community within its beautiful gallery and classroom spaces. This event brings together fun, like-minded individuals for an enjoyable evening of dancing, dining, and exploring affordable art, just in time for the holidays,” says Maggiore.
