WHAT:           The first in-person gathering of Wyland Galleries'
                painters and sculptors -- including influential

                photo opportunities and media interviews. The public
                is invited.

WHEN:           6 - 9 p.m. Saturday, July 1, 2000

WHERE:          Wyland Galleries, 855 W. Harbor Dr., Suite A, in

BACKGROUND:     For the first time since 1996, influential American
                artists and sculptors such as Hogue, Coleman, and
                DeShazo, will appear together from 6 - 9 P.M.
                Saturday, July 1, at Wyland Galleries, 855 W. Harbor
                Dr., Suite A, in Seaport Village, 619/544-9995.

                "This is a milestone event," said Wyland, who is best
                known for his landmark murals of sea life around the
                world. "The artists in this show are incredibly
                talented, and they have done a tremendous job in
                raising awareness about the beauty around us. It's
                extremely rare to have them all in person, in one
                place."

                The complete lineup includes Coleman, DeShazo, Hanson,
                Hogue, Mackin, Maiden, Warren, and a brief appearance
                by Wyland. The public is invited to view the works of
                these celebrated artists -- some of which have sold to
                private collectors for as much as $150,000 apiece. The
                artists will be available for photo opportunities and
                media interviews.

                New releases from DeShazo, Warren, and Wyland will be
                introduced. DeShazo, whose works have appeared in Life
                Magazine, Sports Illustrated, and Architectural
                Digest, will release three new giclees, among them his
                highly anticipated work, "High Sierra." Warren carries
                on his surrealist tradition with 16 new giclees on
                canvas. Wyland's new giclee on canvas, "Warm Tropical
                Waters," depicts the fantastic sea life among the
                Florida Keys.

                On display throughout the show will be original oils,
                sculptures and watercolors, limited-edition
                lithographs, cibachromes, and giclees. For more
