Dream for Estefany by Marsha Shaw
ART FOR CARRIZO, an Online Show in support of the CARRIZO PLAIN NATIONAL MONUMENT, through October 15:
The recent Madre wildfire swept through a huge portion of the Carrizo Plain National Monument causing serious damage to the ecosystems there. Much of the Caliente Ridge area was burned as well as treasured sites in the surrounding areas. The Caliente Ridge includes the highest elevation in San Luis Obispo County at 5,106 feet which was vegetated with a thick cover of oak and juniper trees. Damage to woodlands and to the surrounding areas is still being assessed, but it is clear that some large-scale restoration efforts will be needed.​
To financially support the restoration efforts, local artists, including members of SLOPE (San Luis Obispo Painters for the Environment) and The Oak Group of Santa Barbara, are partnering with the CARRIZO PLAIN CONSERVANCY to host an online sale of CARRIZO PLAIN landscape art. These artists are offering to donate 50% OF THE SALES PRICE of their artwork to the CARRIZO PLAIN CONSERVANCY for restoration efforts in the National Monument. The funds will be administered by CARRIZO PLAIN CONSERVANCY.
This website shows images of all available artwork with descriptions of paintings, cost and artist information. Purchases are made directly through the artist, through mid-October.
