Published Date

February 9, 2020

The 35th Yosemite Renaissance Art Exhibit will be on display at the Yosemite Museum Gallery in Yosemite National Park from Saturday, February 22, through Sunday, May 3, 2020. The exhibit features artworks inspired by Yosemite and California’s Sierra Nevada, and includes photography, painting, sculptures, textiles and more. This year, 70 works were selected from 811 entries.

The Yosemite Museum Gallery is located within the Yosemite Museum, which is adjacent to the Yosemite Valley Visitor Center. The 35th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Art Exhibit will be open daily from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. and from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Entrance to the Gallery and the 35th Annual Yosemite Renaissance Art Exhibit is free.

The Gala Reception and presentation of awards will take place at the Yosemite Museum on Friday, February 21, from 5:30 p.m. - 7:30 p.m. Five-thousand dollars in cash awards will be presented at the reception. Members of the public are invited to attend.

Yosemite Renaissance is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to supporting the arts in Yosemite and the Sierra Nevada region. For over 150 years, artists have played an important role in the establishment of our state and national parks, inspiring people to visit iconic natural sites, and to protect our parks, wild lands and natural resources. Yosemite Renaissance is dedicated to this ideal.

The call to artists for Yosemite Renaissance 36 will begin on July 1, 2020. The competition is open to artists worldwide. Artists are encouraged to celebrate the beauty and wonder of nature and to explore environmental issues, ecology, history, current events, spiritual and cultural themes. We also encourage innovation, the use of new media, and new applications of traditional styles and techniques.

Yosemite National Park is sponsoring this special exhibit in collaboration with the Yosemite Renaissance. Other partners include Mariposa County, The Ansel Adams Gallery, the National Park Service, and Visit Yosemite Madera County.

Support National Parks Traveler

Your support for the National Parks Traveler comes at a time when news organizations are finding it hard, if not impossible, to stay in business. Traveler's work is vital. For nearly two decades we've provided essential coverage of national parks and protected areas. With the Trump administration’s determination to downsize the federal government, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum’s approach to public lands focused on energy exploration, it’s clear the Traveler will have much to cover in the months and years ahead. We know of no other news organization that provides such broad coverage of national parks and protected areas on a daily basis. Your support is greatly appreciated.
