• Art Style: Spiritual Naïve - Primitive
• Religions: Christianity, and also Mythology
• City/State: Indianapolis, IN 
• Date: Sunday, May 6, 2012, 2 p.m.
• Price: "Free"
• RSVP: at Meetup.com for location, and details.

The house gathering will include seven new, and older works by Tony Melendez including "Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha" (above) the first Native American Saint ever named by the Roman Catholic Church.
