Description
Premiere of "Obata's Yosemite" with Introduction and Q & A by Ranger April Megumi Kunieda
Auditorium in Yosemite Village
Please join us for the world premiere of Obata's Yosemite — a short documentary about Chiura Obata's enduring contributions to not just Yosemite National Park but to all of us.
We are excited to offer the Obata Art Weekend for a second year. The event will be held August 25 through 27 to celebrate Chiura Obata's art, impact, and connection to Yosemite. In line with Obata’s philosophy, this event strives to highlight how both art and nature can help sustain us physically and emotionally and grow in understanding and appreciation for ourselves, our neighbors, and natural spaces. The event includes guest speakers, such as Kimi Hill (Family Historian of Obata’s family), artist workshops, demos and other programs. Thanks to Yosemite Conservancy donors for their generous support of this event.
