EXHIBITIONS OF MR. HALPER'S FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY
Sunlight and Water transformed eight tasting rooms, a restaurant, and a hotel in downtown Los Olivos into the Los Olivos Meandering Gallery showcasing Mark Robert Halper's portraits of Santa Barbara County winemakers. The intimate portraits of Sunlight and Water celebrate the romance of wine country, the passion of the vintners, and the artistry of great wine.
The photographic exhibition opened August 14, 2010 to coincide with the release of the book, Sunlight and Water: Celebrating the Winemakers of Santa Barbara County.
Over twenty different wine and art related events continued through February of 2011.
Opening Events: August 13-15, 2011
This exhibition closed in February of 2011.
