Artist communities exist throughout our landscape, though many of us, even those who frequent art walks, don’t always realize that just around the corner there may be a whole new world of visual discovery awaiting us. Curator Phil Marquez is determined to help us mine for these creative treasures and has pulled together top-notch artists from both the Santa Ana and Pomona Arts colonies to illustrate. Cheryl Bookout’s exceptional, twisty iconography series is a must-see and Father Bill Moore’s stark, waxy abstractions might just get you spiritual. Randy Au’s wildly pleasing ceramic sculptures are certain eye candy, and Janice Lowry’s assemblages are a hoot and a holler. Other artists featured include Juan Thorp, Matt Southgate and Margie Zuliani.
