Friends of Gualala River (FoGR) sponsored an award at the Art in the Redwoods Festival in 2022, for the twenty-first year in a row. A cash prize contributed by FoGR was given to the artist whose work best captured the ecology of the Gualala River watershed.
Congratulations to local sculptor, Dustin Gaer-Smith, whose piece “Coho Crowd” (above) received the Environmental Art award sponsored by FoGR at the 2022 Art in the Redwoods Fine Art Exhibit. The 61th annual Art in the Redwoods Festival took place on Saturday, August 20 and Sunday, August 21, 2022.
The fine art exhibit is on display at the Gualala Arts Center through September 4. There is no charge to see the exhibit, which is open to the public from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. weekdays, and from 12:00 noon to 4:00 p.m. on weekends.
Many thanks to Dustin for crafting this inspiring image of our local ecosystem!
