SURVIVAL IS NOT ENOUGH

Nat Tapia, “Leucadia Bar, located in Leucadia” MiraCosta College students celebrated their talents and insight at a recent photo exhibition entitled SURVIVAL IS NOT ENOUGH, held at Civic Center Library in Oceanside. The photographers represented in the show were students of Art 251, a digital photography class held at MiraCosta College. The exhibit opened on April 6th with a celebratory reception attended by the artists, family, friends, and some past students of this same digital photography class. After viewing the work of these talented Artists, San Diego Woman Magazine hopes that in the future we can share more of their work through the pages of our Magazine. Congratulations to all who participated and shared their artistic talents and skills in this wonderful exhibition.
