A warm, beautiful evening greeted art lovers who came out to see the creative offerings of local Mission San Miguel artists at the Mission courtyard on Friday, July 27^th. Everyone was struck by the seriousness and quality of art exhibited at this event.

Parishioner Anthony Quartuccio topically had mission scenes in original paintings, prints and limited editions; while horse aficionada Cricket Johnston showcased her equestrian paint and print studies. Leonard Potter displayed his historical sculptures in various media. Betty Arbogast showcased her religious embroidery: past, present and in-process. Photojournalist Mary Kedizor showed how she visions her subjects through her presentation of photo-prints. San Miguel resident Ruth Elvin offered her paintings and sketches of flowers to the public; while fellow resident Michael Yost displayed his religious as well as more modern oil and watercolor paintings.

All of the above artists graciously donated a portion of their sales to the Parish Building Fund.
