Thank you, Art Center Morro Bay, and especially Gail Martin, for organizing another fabulous venture on the Central Coast. The excursion to Sensorio in Paso Robles was breath taking, the dinner beforehand was filling and delicious, and the company couldn't be beat. And did you schedule the trip on the full moon just as an added treat? Keep up the great work!
Thank you!

myemail.constantcontact.com/Help-us-save-Morro-Bay-Art-in-the-Park-.html?soid=1123708561153&aid=_...Art in the Park started in 1955. The city of Morro Bay did not incorporate until 1964. Art in the Park in it's current location is the second oldest continuing art show in the State of California.
Please help Save Morro Bay Art in the Park! Sign our petition and write letters to the Mayor and city council.

Morro Bay Art in the Park is facing potential closure in the coming few years if the City of Morro Bay continues with its current plans for moving the RTA/ Bus Stop.
This potential move would reduce the size of the small park. The move of the Bus Stop would reduce the size of the Art Show so much that it would be forced to cease operation.
The potential move of the Bus Stop to Morro Bay Blvd would create a daily traffic hazard, since School Buses would have to unload on this busy street. State Law requires that the School Buses must flash their lights when loading and unloading. This will require traffic to come to a halt BOTH WAYS on Morro Bay Blvd. This back up of traffic will increase the risk of accidents, especially coming west over the blind hill from the traffic circle.
The current Bus Stop is located on Harbor Street which has 1/10 the amount of traffic that Morro Bay Blvd has. It is a safer location. We support keeping the Morro Bay Transit Center in it's current location. We do not feel that the effort of obtaining a $500,000 State of California Grant is necessary.
A simple remodel of the current Transit Center, trimming back the adjoining large tree or removing it for more light and adding a 10x20 concrete patio in it's place along with more benches would obtain the desired result. This remodel could be done for $30,000 to $60,000 not 1/2 a million. Please support our efforts and help Save Morro Bay Art in the Park.

During our show, Light the Way, please stop in and see the beautiful artwork of Robert C. Perry!
Robert C. Perry is a U.S Navy veteran who earned a Bachelor of Art degree from Cal State University, Bakersfield.
Although his pursuit of art as a profession was discouraged, he excelled with every art related class. Making his way through Japan and Southeast Asia, Robert admired exceptional designs that left a lasting impression. The pot as an art form, both traditional and lidded, intrigued him as he admired them along the Jemez Pueblo, located in Taos, New Mexico. Robert made the decision to purchase a lathe and take up woodturning, and began teaching himself the skills to become a master craftsman in the field of woodturning.
His designs are influenced by a mixture of Asian, Prairie and Mission styles. Outside artwork may sometimes affect the shape of a pot, however they always come to life solely on the lathe without aid of preliminary drawings.
