“The art tour was excellent. Mark is on target with description, charm and makes LACMA come alive and pops the art off the walls. The tour celebrates the spark and spirit of painting and shows how artists fall in love with their work.”

Programs Director and Conceptualizer-  The Children’s Museum of Los Angeles
