Some have been in private collections and have not been displayed publicly for several years. A limited number of pieces will be available for purchase.

Among Mikes local public art pieces include the "Granny Goose Stage" (Fairytale Towne) and "The Giving Trees" in both the Folsom Library and the Maidu Indian Museum.

If you have attended a performance at Sutter Street Theatre you have seen Mike's Theater Art in the sets and lighting designs. If you have attended the California State Fair and visited the Counties Building, you probably did not know that many of the award-winning County Exhibits were designed and constructed by Mike and his Mikon Crew.

The Sutter Street Theatre Boutique will also be open with Vintage and Costume Jewelry, and theatre memorabilia all for a donation of your choosing.

The exhibit runs Saturday, February 6 from 4:00pm-8:00pm.
