[scpg-admin at arashi.com]

Announcement:

Award winning environmental artist (photographer, painter plus 
composer/performer) Nancy Koren from Atascadero, California will hold an 
opening reception at the Karpelis Manuscript Library and Museum on this 
very Sunday March 11th, 2001 --- located at 21 West Anapamu St., Santa 
Barbara, Tel (805) 962-5322.
Time: 2pm 'til 5pm with 44 photographs, a talk by the artist, refreshments, 
Nancy's music, a video and more.

Why come?

                 >Savor a unique photo-essay preserved in Koren's pictures 
and music of a place called "The Down Home Blues Ranch".  The exhibit is 
dedicated to this uniquely beautiful environmental homesite, finally 
displaced by the The State Water Project in 1993.  Hear about the 
impassioned struggle to save the Ranch and how hearts were opened in the 
outpouring of support it evoked.

                 >Support the role of art in the preservation of natural 
beauty in the face of bureaucratic force --- Let people see what was lost 
to the construction of a field of immense water tanks as part of The State 
Water Project.  Eric Greening, a leading SLO County environmental activist, 
will give a special presentation highlighting the events leading to the 
loss of the Ranch.

                >This museum show and reception was quickly and 
professionally mounted by Koren on short notice (another show unexpectedly 
cancelled).  Don't miss the opportunity to see this inspiring art 
documentary of a jewel in the history of the Central Coast
.
                >Please come and bring your friends who love art and the 
preservation of our natural environment, keeping our own hearts open to the 
cry of nature under threat.

                >For more information call Nancy Koren @ 805 461 1955 or 
e-mail her at

Hoping to see you at the show,

Nancy's husband,  Jack.
