Fukuhara Workshop Show 2016

About

APC Fine Arts is proud to host a Digital Art Show of selected works inspired by the 19th Annual Henry Fukuhara Memorial Workshop.

This past May, 2016 when almost 100 artists converged on the Owens Valley to paint together for five days, exciting things happened. There was an unparalleled burst of creative energy spurred by being shoulder-to-shoulder with so many other artists in a spirit of goodwill and camaraderie. The fresh, exciting work in this show emerged.

All work in this show is for sale unless marked NFS.

Centered around the town of Lone Pine, the Owens Valley is approximately 200 miles North of Los Angeles at 4000 feet of elevation. It is tucked in at the base of the majestic Eastern Sierra Nevada to the West and the White Mountains and Inyo Mountains to the East.

Swansea

Now a ghost of its former self, Swansea was a small boomtown located on the shore of Owens Lake. The town served the Cerro Gordo silver mine in the Inyo Mountains around 1860. Swansea was destroyed by the 1872 Lone Pine earthquake and the ensuing tsunami.

A moonscape of hills and rounded rock formations that was named by prospectors sympathetic to Civil War Confederates. It has served as a popular location for film and television productions.

Owens Lake

The Lake was once 12 miles long and 8 miles wide and held a significant amount of water until LADWP diverted runoff water from the Owens River to the Los Angeles Aqueduct in 1913. It became a dry lake bed within a decade when the remaining water evaporated, creating noxious alkali dust storms that carried as much as four million tons of dust from the lakebed each year. As part of a court ordered dust mitigation settlement, LADWP has implemented and executed measures that include maintaining pools that serve as important feeding and resting stops for millions of migrating waterfowl each year.

Lone Pine Train Depot

The Lone Pine Branch was built around 1912 and was 90 miles long, extending from Mojave to Owenyo, a few miles north of Lone Pine. It was used to help build the Los Angeles Aqueduct.
