This community art exhibit is launched at the Unveiling where 100 original art paintings will be revealed. The art has been in the works for over the past three months. Shortly after the Unveiling, sixty large paintings (nearly 7 feet by 3 feet) and forty smaller ones (5 feet by 1 1⁄2 feet) will be hanging along light poles on the Coast Highway from Leucadia to Cardiff-By-The-Sea through May.

During the Unveiling and continuing until the Final Auction on May 20 at the Cardiff Town Center, silent bids will be taken by DEMA (call the number below to bid.) Bids start at $150 with half of the proceeds being directed to the artists and the other half to produce the exhibit and to support various non-profit organizations.
