The mountain community of Oakhurst is known as a gateway community, located just minutes below the southern entrance to Yosemite National Park. What many people are surprised to learn is that Oakhurst, and Sierra Nevada foothills, have a thriving art scene. This becomes most evident each October during the Sierra Art Trails Open Studio Tour (this year Saturday and Sunday October 2 and 3).
Each October, the Sierra Art Trail Open Studio Tour brings in art lovers to see the latest works from the numerous local artists. �The show gives art enthusiasts the chance to see fine art and fine crafts in the making, and to purchase works directly from the people who create them,� said Jon Bock with the art trail. �The show features artists and artisans working in a wide range of media including painting, photography, jewelry, sculpture, fiber arts, woodcarving, ceramics, glass, and more.�
For those who can�t wait to see what the trail has in store, there will be a preview event opening on September 4 at Stellar Gallery in Oakhurst. The preview exhibit is open through to the Art Trails weekend, and includes a representative piece by each artist in the show.
The price of admission to Sierra Art Trails is $18.00, and includes the annual tour catalog, which acts as a �ticket for two� for the event. Catalogs include a list of artists and their viewing locations, and detailed maps to get you there. The Preview Exhibit is free and open to the public from 11 am to 5 pm Thursday through Monday.
