Take a trip to Whole Foods Market Torrance at 2655 Pacific Coast Hwy and not only get food to help you get healthy in 2012 but give back to the community by protecting open space on the Peninsula, providing environmental educational opportunities for our young people and activities for our community that connect people with our special natural places. According to Whole Foods Marketing Supervisor, Gabriel Dupin De Saint Cy, “Our focus is to support innovative groups like the Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy that strive to make the world a better place. To us, a better place is one where the environment is preserved and replenished, communities are strong, health is a priority, and where all living beings are respected.”
Fine Arts Exhibition and Sale, June 30-July 13, 2012
The Palos Verdes Peninsula Land Conservancy and the Portuguese Bend Artist Colony (PBAC) have partnered for the past 12 years on a collaboration that brings art and nature together. The annual Fine Art Exhibition & Sale features original artwork by this nationally recognized group of plein air artists, most of whom have grown up in the South Bay. Member Dan Pinkham, was the recent recipient of the Gold Medal for Painting at the California Art Club's 98th Annual Gold Medal Juried Exhibition in Pasadena.
The event features a Special Preview Reception Dinner, guest lecture, and 14-day exhibition and sale. In 2012, the exhibition and sale will be held at the Malaga Cove Library in Palos Verdes Estates. The Conservancy is indebted to the artists who donate a portion of the proceeds from the sale of their paintings to the organization.
