ESLT invites you to submit work to a juried show for our 4th annual Art for Conservation Show & Sale planned for the summer of 2012. ESLT is grateful to have the opportunity to partner with talented photographers to benefit ESLT’s work to preserve Eastern Sierra lands.

This year’s Art for Conservation Show & Sale opens on Tuesday, June 26, 2012 at the G2 Gallery in Venice Beach, California. The G2 Gallery is a wonderful venue to show and sell art, all for a good cause! 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. The Show & Sale will run through Monday, August 5, 2012. A reception honoring the artists will be held Saturday June 30.
