Art is an expression of our creative spirituality ...and on Sunday, July 10, 2011 from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm fine art and music will be flourishing in the gardens of the Mary & Joseph Retreat Center in Rancho Palos Verdes. Join us for this amazing event combining fine art and artists, sunshine, Taiko drums and Barbershop harmony, flowers and strawberry shortcake.

Artists will be painting, drawing and displaying their work throughout our eight acres of gardens.
