    Fifty years ago, Volcão Dos Capelinhos, a volcano located in the Azores Islands of Portugal, erupted in a display of the art and temper of Mother Nature that changed the shape of the island and brought about an immigration of over 100,000 Azoreans to America. Portuguese American farmers and ranchers have long provided our tables with a bountiful cornucopia of fruits, vegetables, and beautiful flowers. Likewise, our hearts and souls have been nurtured by the artistic legacy of Portuguese American artists such as Nathan Oliveira, Mel Ramos, John Mattos, and João de Brito. Sanchez Art Center in Pacifica is honored to host the exhibition, Ashes to Life – A Portuguese American Story in Art, which celebrates, commemorates, and embodies the history, contributions, and lives of Portuguese Americans.
