VAN ARSDALE ARTS
Former three-time NBA All-Stars Dick and Tom Van Arsdale have retired from the “real world” and are enjoying the arts. They say they couldn’t play music—and according to their wives they couldn’t sing—but they do love to draw. So with pens, pencils, brushes and oils, the twins began creating art and opened their gallery in 2018. The Valley legends invite visitors to drop by and enjoy their oil paintings, pen and pencil works and signed T-shirts with their artsy images.
