“The Eye of the Next Generation: Youth Photography” – Exhibit – Studios on the Park

The Eye of the Next Generation at Studios on the Park is comprised of artists from the age of 10-18. They were encouraged to showcase their skills in the following categories: landscape, floral, animal, portrait, city/urban, and still life.

Exhibit runs from March 1st to April 30th

“The Power of Red” – Exhibit – Art Center Morro Bay

There is no denying the power of red. The color symbolizes an undeniable sense of extremes: strength, passion, heat, luck, wealth and confidence.

Each artist in this show was asked, “In a single word, what does the use of red represent in your artistic creation? Anger? Joy? Foreboding? Realism? Love? Danger?”

This exhibit will be on display from April 6th – May 15th
