Assemblywoman Bonnie Garcia (R-Cathedral City)
invites the community to join her on Friday, February 23, 2007 to celebrate
Black History Month. A
reception featuring the works of the internationally-renowned artist, Bernard

p.m.
The reception is co-sponsored by the Palm Springs
African-American Chamber of Commerce and the City of Cathedral City.
 Bernard Stanley Hoyes
Garcia said, "It is an honor and a privilege to represent
the beautiful diversity of the Coachella
Valley. Black History
Month provides us an opportunity to learn about and celebrate the contributions
made by African Americans to the arts, sciences, civil rights movement and
politics. Please join us for an evening of light appetizers, music and
beautiful artwork."
As an artist, Hoyes has worked tirelessly to give back to
the local community by donating his work to local charities including the City
of Home Cancer Research Foundation, the Desert
Aids Project, and the Palm
Springs Desert Museum. Hoyes maintains studios in
Desert Hot Springs, Los Angeles, and Kingston, Jamaica.
