Mic Carlson has been personally touched by the life and history of St. Francis of Assisi. This icon of the early church lived in a way that reflected his belief that all creatures were loved by God.

In 2004, Mic was invited to the Basilica of St. Francis in Assisi for a bronze exhibition. He was the first American artist to be bestowed with such an honor. The Basilica of St. Francis is 800 years old and is graced with the incredible frescoes of the perhaps first modern artist Giotto. Michelangelo visited the magnificent basilica to study these frescoes before painting the Sistine Chapel.

Over 30,000 people from all walks of life visited Mic's St. Francis bronze exhibition, from September 18th through October 16th, 2004. Mic met the President of the Senate Marcello Pera and presented him with a painting of St. Francis.

Mic was invited by the official deligates of Perugia and Grand Rapids to exhibit a collection of oil paintings and bronze sculptures for the 10 year anniversary of Sister cities.

Mic's first show in Italy.

This was an amazing experience.
