About the event:
This year they have work from Galen Rowell, Michael Frye, Glen Denny, Ansel Adams (a rare signed poster), Jerry Dodrill, Greg Epperson, and many other well-known artists. The event is becoming a showcase for top adventure photographers. They will also have several works available for a prize drawing. They hope you decide to join them for this fun and worthwhile event, it is a great opportunity to buy amazing artwork at a reasonable price for a good cause.
The Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite Valley hosts the event each year. The work will be hanging from the morning of November 8th until the evening of Friday the 9th. The gala reception and silent auction's final bids occur from 5:00-6:30pm on Friday. It is a festive night with food, wine, and a great mix of park locals, climbing heavies, art collectors and the general public.

A little about YCA:
YCA's goal is to preserve the park's climbing history and interpret it for the public. They are non-profit and are a designated NPS park partner. They are currently working towards a climbing museum and library within the Yosemite Valley visitor's center. The money raised goes towards housing and cataloging our burgeoning collection of historic items, acquiring new items, and interpretive programs. It also helps them organize the biggest annual park wide cleanup in Yosemite's history. This year they cleaned up a record 20 TONS of garbage! To find out more check out their website: www.yosemiteclimbing.org. They have had a lot of press this year, including ABC news and National Geographic.
