We will be featuring art from women artists juried from around the United States with the general theme of the "sacred feminine," Guadalupe, Mother Mary. Sculpture, paintings, jewelry and published books on this subject are just some of the art media used to demonstrate this theme.

The artist reception is scheduled for December 13 from 5-7 p.m. The Basque Restaurant in San Juan Bautista is our sponsor for the reception, so expect wonderful appetizers. If you wish to join us following the reception to continue discussing the show and meeting our authors, we will be having dinner at the Maxtain Basque Restaurant in San Juan Bautista for a no-host dinner. Reservations are recommended so we can be sure we have enough space reserved. Just email us at mmpublishing@gmail.com. We will have a special menu set up for our group and let you know the price of the dinner.
