Begins March 1, 2008
 

Yosemite Renaissance, which is now in its twenty-third year, opens at the Yosemite Museum Gallery on Saturday, March 1 and remains there through May 4, 2008. (Fridays through Mondays, 10 to Noon and 1 to 4 PM). The entire community is invited to the opening reception, which will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 PM on Friday, February 29th. Refreshments will be served. Serious party-goers should note that it will be possible to attend this opening as well as the YEA party in El Portal. This year, from a near-record number of 465 entries, 38 paintings, photographs, sculptures and drawings by 34 artists from across the country were selected. On the evening of the opening reception, photographer Ted Orland and print-maker Tom Killion (both former Yosemite Renaissance award-winners) will select the artists who will receive the $4000 in cash awards. This year's exhibit is unquestionably one of the best ever mounted by Yosemite Renaissance, including a broad range of works from the representational to the abstract to the conceptual. Local artists in the exhibit include: Linda R. Abbott, Susan Bolen, Elizabeth Carmel, Michael Frye, Marian Gault, Peggy Hansen, Mark Heliger, William Neill, Penny Otwell, Jon Shiu, and Carol Rae Shockley.
