The Sierra Madre Arts Commission is pleased to present Scenes of Sierra Madre a new exhibition in the Sierra Madre City Hall. Curated by the volunteer Art Review Board, this evocative and nostalgic new show features fifteen pieces of original artwork by local artists depicting the landmarks, the hidden treasures, the unknown mysteries, and the private oases that have inspired them around the one-of-a-kind foothill village.

Mosqueda, and landscape painter Jane Sameth Fishman.
