Bread and beauty grow best together. Their harmonious integration can make farming not only a business but an art; the land not only a food factory but an instrument of self- expression on which each can play music of his own choosing.

~Aldo Leopold

Art for Conservation Show and Sale

Eastern Sierra and Oak Group Artists Help Preserve the Eastern Sierra

The Eastern Sierra Land Trust partnered with artists from the Eastern Sierra and Oak Group July 18 and 19th, in the first annual ESLT Art for Conservation Show & Sale. ESLT and these artists have many things in common – stewardship of the land, dedication to helping preserve our cherished landscapes, and being inspired by the natural beauty to continue their important work. The artwork depicted in the show reflected these common bonds and included scenes from working farms and ranches, wildlife habitat, outdoor recreation and the many scenic views that reflect the human and natural history of the Eastern Sierra.  "We were thrilled with the enthusiastic attendance at the show and especially gratified to have more than exceeded our sales goal for the event," stated ESLT Executive Director, Karen Ferrell-Ingram.

A select group of Eastern Sierra and Oak Group artists depicted the unique characteristics of the region. There are few places in California, or the United States, that offer more dramatic landscape and scenic vistas than the Eastern Sierra. The alliance of artists transformed the CreekHouse at Snowcreek into a first rate gallery for the weekend. Curator Kendra Knight of the Mammoth Ski Museum, ESLT Development and Outreach Director Mary McGurke, and ESLT Art Committee members Rick Kattelmann, Lynn Peterson and Mary K Prentice collaborated to coordinate this first annual event. Over 30 local artists and 15 Oak Group artists featured works for sale in all mediums -- watercolor, oil, pastel, photography, sculpture and mixed media.  "We received many comments from attendees about the incredible quality of talent gathered in one place for this show.  We are so grateful to the local artists and Oak Group for participating in our first show," commented Mary McGurke.

ESLT is grateful to work with this alliance of artists in an annual Show & Sale portraying the natural beauty of our cherished region and raising awareness to protect our cherished Eastern Sierra. Stay tuned for details on the 2nd Annual Art for Conservation Show & Sale in 2010!

Fifty percent of all sales go to support ESLT’s work of preserving our rural lands.
