Welcome to Yosemite Renaissance
The programs of Yosemite Renaissance, Inc. are intended to encourage diverse artistic interpretations of Yosemite. Our 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. We sponsor an Artist in Residence Program in Yosemite for professional artists and an annual competitive exhibit open to professional and aspiring artists.
Yosemite Renaissance is a non-profit corporation.
