Event Details:
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.

Overview: To encourage artistic interpretations and to preserve and protect the heritage of the national parks is the premise behind the annual Yosemite Renaissance. Bringing artists together to capture and interpret the natural beauty of nature into art.
