Working with paper, Leo Monahan constructs intricate reliefs of plants, animals, and artifacts. Much of his work is based on memories of his childhood in the Black Hills; an area populated with miners, loggers, cowboys, farmers, and the Sioux Indians. The recipient of numerous awards, Leo is twice past-president of the Society of Illustrators of Los Angeles, and a recipient of their Life Achievement Award. He is also a 35-year participant of the U.S. Air Force documentary art program, as well as founder of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's documentary art program.

In November 2004, Frank Warren began his community art project by handing out postcards to strangers and leaving them in public places in the Washington, D.C. area. Each self-addressed card invited people to anonymously share a secret. The two requirements were: The secret had to be true and it had to be something that had never been told to another person.  Today, Warren has been mailed more than 100,000 highly personal and artfully decorated postcards illustrating the soulful secrets we never voice. This international phenomenon has spawned three successful books (and a fourth on the way), including The New York Times bestseller: PostSecret: Extraordinary Confessions from Ordinary Lives; an award winning website that receives more than four million visitors every month; and an art exhibition that the Washington Post ranked in the top five of 2005. The PostSecret exhibition tour was organized by international Arts & Artists, Washington, DC, in cooperation with Frank Warren.  *Please note Free admission on Thursdays will be suspended for the run of this exhibition.
