Bread and beauty grow best together. Their harmonious integration can make farming not only a business but an art; the land not only a food factory but an instrument of self- expression on which each can play music of his own choosing.

Eastern Sierra Land Trust - Art for Conservation

4th annual Art for Conservation Show & Sale

G2 Gallery, Venice Beach, California

June 26 to August 6, 2012

Eastern Sierra Land Trust's fourth annual Art for Conservation Show & Sale will be held at the G2 Gallery in Venice Beach, California. Visit them online at www.theg2gallery.com. The G2 Gallery has been supporting art and the environment since 2008 by showcasing the world’s most celebrated nature and wildlife photographers and donating the proceeds to environmental charities.

Forty percent of all sales will support ESLT's work preserving Eastern Sierra lands, with sixty percent of each sale going to the artist. The show will be well publicized in the Los Angeles area and the Eastern Sierra. A reception honoring the artists will be held Saturday, June 30.

ESLT would like to express special thanks to the G2 Gallery and its owners Dan and Susan Gottlieb for their generous support of ESLT’s Art for Conservation Show & Sale.
