Mission Art Show a Success

 

 

Mission San  Miguel, San Miguel, CA. . – 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.

 

Following the art show at 8PM, the Mozart Festival concert “Mexican Roses” began its sellout performance in the Mission church.
