Here are some of the remembrances of other artists who knew Art. ..."Thank You for introducing me to Art, Rita. Art had a gift of peace and it was a joy to listen to him talk to me as he painted. I will not forget him. Mike"

As the founder of the PAPC - SW, it was my joy and pleasure to know Art Garibay. He was one of our first members. He only traded his stars and stripes cap (shown in the photo) for the turquoise PAPC - SW one. He was an avid student, but make no mistake, we ALL learned a lot from Art. Til we meet again, Art,

He was always very kind to me, always had a warm greeting and a smile. He welcomed me as a new nephew those so many years ago and was always affirming and encouraging to me and my little piece of the family. He will always be remembered fondly by me.

Uncle Art was a gentle soul, loved his family. I remember visiting with my dad and all the teasing that went on between the two brothers.
Thoughts and prayers go to Aunt Carol, Denise, Brian and Michelle.
