Art for God’s Sake Featured Artist Sergio De Giusti and his work, A Faust Symphony
Sergio De Giusti has been a wonderful guide to the Art for God’s Sake committee in helping organize our upcoming event (May 13 – 15). Back in September 2010, we had the opportunity to visit Mr. De Giusti at the Detroit Artist Market for his exhibit, Tenebroso. There was a great crowd and the energy was contagious. Here are a few photos from that evening.
