FINAL GALLERY LIQUIDATION: MARCH 27–29
We are exiting our physical space at Pier Plaza (not moving to a new one) to fulfill a new mission. This is your final opportunity to purchase professional gallery fixtures, studio equipment, and furniture. Every sale directly funds the transition of the Paintings of Hope Foundation into a scholarship resource for South Bay art students.
In-Person Studio Treasure Hunt
Art, Supplies, & Small Equipment
To avoid overselling while we are busy on the floor, our smaller inventory has been removed from the website. A huge selection of studio gems—including brushes, professional paints, frames, noteracks, utility carts, and more—is available IN-PERSON ONLY this weekend.
Come browse the studio and find your next favorite tool at liquidation prices. These items are first-come, first-served!
When: March 27–29 | 12:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Where: Esperanza Gallery, Redondo Beach Pier Plaza
Turning an "Ending" into a New Beginning
Since May 2025, the Paintings of Hope Foundation—a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit—has worked behind the scenes to promote local artists and community arts education through our exhibitions at Esperanza Gallery.
As we close our physical doors at Pier Plaza, we are not ending our work; we are evolving. We are officially pivoting our mission to provide scholarship opportunities for art students throughout the South Bay. By purchasing items from our studio and gallery liquidation, you are directly contributing to the initial funding of these scholarships. Help us support the next generation of local creators as we move from a physical gallery to a community-focused foundation.
Note on our Physical Space
Where are we going?
We are not moving to a new gallery or studio location. After March 29, we are exiting our physical space at Pier Plaza to operate entirely as a community-focused foundation. Our mission is shifting from a physical gallery to providing scholarships and support for South Bay art students from our digital headquarters.
Continuing the Art
Our founder, Esperanza Deese, will continue to paint from her home or en plein air, participate in art shows throughout the South Bay and Greater Los Angeles, and lead Mobile Paint Parties. You can continue to support her work and stay updated on her latest projects by following her on Instagram: @esperanzadeese.
