Jose Bernal: Obra de Arte opened September 26, 2015. This was Jose Bernal’s (1925-2010) first retrospective, a fascinating exhibition exploring the life and times of the Cuban born American artist.

See Diana al despertar (Diana Awakening), 1948 along with several other works by Jose Bernal installed in the Brown Wing as part of 20 Years now on view.

Handwritten notes from Mom are the very best! Boxed nature-themed notecards make nice gifts for moms. Soft and lovely scarves for spring and summer and hand-crafted jewelry by local artists are always sure to please.
