A small group of Focus on the Masters supporters were treated to a personal tour of Lotusland's sensational art exhibition "FLOCK: birds on the brink" by guest curator Nancy Gifford. Included in the show are works from two of FOTM’s documented artists; Keith Puccinelli and Susan Tibbles. The exhibition ends on May 23. Organized by a devoted FOTM patron, the excursion concluded with a scrumptious tea at a private estate. Thank you to everyone who attended the event and contributed to FOTM's educational outreach.
