Los Padres National Forest

October 14th is a big day!
Okay, perhaps yesterday led up to today, but today the partnership agreement between Arts For Earth Foundation and the US Forest Service was announced. A few more signatures are needed, like ours. But, all in all... we are ready to send out Grants to fund the Mike Foster Native Plants Garden at the Chuchupate Ranger Station in the Mt.Pinos District of the Los Padres National Forest.
We are also geared up for our new interpretive center at the Station headquarters. The little blue house gives us a place to develop both the Garden and the Interpretive Center. Interesting how it all comes together. It looks like an art gallery, our displays will be interesting, artful and evocative.
From the finest photography to the most sensitive paintings. The Arts invite our guests to experience the wilderness with their hearts as well as their bodies.
more later,

A nice place to visit, with bed and breakfast nearby.
3404 Mt.Pinos Way, Frazier Park, CA 93225
How can such a funky little house hold such great promise? This one does.
We had to show you the "gallery" in it's "before" condition to make sure you appreciate the changes it will go through. It's as good as done.
Check in often. When it's ready to host an opening, we hope you'll join us for a concert, poetry readings, performances on the "stage" to the left of the building. Seating will be in the native plants garden (weeds to the left). Inside will be a lovely gallery of original paintings, sculptures, giclee prints, cards and a huge "digital" showcase of the many pieces too large or cumbersome to display. We'll also feature original one of a kind clothing and handmade fiber art from "Lebecie Girl".
Our goal is to give it an inviting feel. A place that people will want to visit and hang out. It will be a touchstone for people coming to visit the amazing features of the "mountain". Our programs include networking between the fascinating artists living on the mountain and the fascinating artists visiting from the valleys below. Programs will be held in various business' throughout the mountain communities.
