| Mariposa County Arts Council, Inc. | www.mariposa.yosemite.net/arts |
|
|
| 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. | |

| Yosemite Renaissance | www.yosemiteart.org |
|
|
| Yosemite 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. | |
