The exhibit is part of the commissionâs ãarts passagesä program that highlights artists and organizations from throughout the county.

Individual artists include Glynda Dixon, Kathy Gyorfi, Susan Heckly, Margrete Heising, Elizabeth Maffeo Koval, Ruth Mullin, Brian Murphy, John Osmer, Wendy Sparks, Jeff Torquemada, Joe Watson and Lisa Yount. ãWhen you look at the images in this exhibition, you are reminded, once again, of the power and beauty of where we live, and of the importance of understanding and connecting with what is wild around us,ä said Jennifer Delgadillo Bevington, AC5 exhibitions manager.ä The vision of these artists and the strength of their work is a great homage to the museum and all that is has accomplished over the years.ä Echoing themes of previous art passages exhibitions, Bevington noted that, ãThe overall impression of the exhibition, is of the power, and beauty of that these works of art convey with such certainty and simplicity.ä The exhibit, representing Supervisorial District 2, continues through July 8.
