FACE OFF - ART CENTER UNVEILS
NEW LOOK
Wagmania is rampant in
Ben Lomond!
Slide show of the event!
Upon completion of Jon
Wagman’s art installation piece, a “FACE OFF” celebration of the Art
Center’s new look will take place on Sunday, June 21, from 4 – 7 p.m. The
public is invited to this FREE event. There will be food,
entertainment (The Great Morgani & local music) and general camaraderie of
artists and community.
Upbeat artist Jon Wagman lends his optimistic energies
in creating a new “face” for the Santa Cruz Mountains Art Center at 9341
Mill Street, in downtown Ben Lomond. Jon’s positive perspective is
projected in his abstract large paintings, which are the inspiration for
this new Art Center front. Examples of Jon’s work can be seen on his
website:
