About Yosemite Artists - |
|
|
The
artists represented here are all long time residents of Yosemite National
Park. They have had time to observe and the opportunity to capture the
many moods of this amazing landscape: the incredible beauty of wildflowers
in Spring, the roar of waterfalls in Summer, the soaring cliffs, the abundant
animal life, the glorious colors of Autumn, the silent snows of Winter.
From broad painted vistas to exquisitely rendered plants you will sense
the sacredness of the place we are fortunate enough to call home. As you
browse through each personal artist's work we hope our visions will help
you see Yosemite in new ways, and discover nuances that lead you to a
deeper understanding of the place we love.

purchasing a piece of art. 10% of the purchase price goes to one of the
non-profit organizations that help to further the arts in Yosemite. You
may designate a specific program of those listed for the 10% donation or
the artist will decide. |

Renaissance is an annual competition/exhibition, which is intended to encourage
diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite. Its goals are to bring together
the works of serious contemporary artists that do not simply duplicate traditional
representations; to establish a continuum with past generations of Yosemite
artists; and to help re-establish visual art as a major interpretive medium
of the landscape and a stimulus to the protection of the environment. Historically,
the arts have played a very important role in the establishment of our State
and National Parks. It is our hope that they can be just as important in
future efforts to preserve and protect that heritage. Yosemite Renaissance
also administers the Yosemite Artists-in-Residence Program for recognized
artists who have an established exhibition record. For information about
the programs of Yosemite Renaissance see our Web site at http://www.yosemiteart.org.

| The
Mariposa County Arts Council, established in 1981, is an incorporated not-for-profit
organization, created to promote and support all forms of the cultural arts,
for all ages, throughout Mariposa County. As a liaison between the arts
community and the Mariposa Board of Supervisors, the Arts Council works
closely with local authorities in sponsoring and organizing ongoing and
special art events. One of the programs they have helped sponsor is the
Yosemite Children's Art Program. This is an ongoing Arts Education Program
that brings community artists into the park schools, to teach various forms
of art to the local children. The lessons are based on art history from
all cultures, and designed around the existing curriculum. The children's
work is then displayed at local galleries including the Ansel Adams Gallery,
and the Mariposa County Arts Council Gallery. The children are involved
in the whole process, from creation to display. |
