Together Claremont resident and Mosaic artist, Cathy Garcia and David Shearer, Executive Director of Claremont Heritage, have collaborated to recreate a walk through the County Fair of the 1950's and 60’s at the dA Center for the Arts in Pomona, CA. Over twenty visual artists have been invited to participate in the art exhibit celebrating Fair favorites such as citrus, livestock, horses/horse rac...ing, and the colorful midway. The show will also feature a period interior design showroom to add to the 1950’s and 60’s atmosphere. Two great opening receptions are planned for Friday, August 19, and Saturday, August 20, from 6 – 9 pm to kick off the 5 week exhibition. On Friday, August 19th two former curators of the Millard Sheets Art building, Tony Sheets and David Svenson will be honored for the 10 years of enjoyment and culture they created to carry on their respective family’s legacy for the public to enjoy at the L A County Fair. Author, historian, park naturalist, teacher, principal, docent trainer and now a nationally-recognized storyteller, Jim Cogan will be at the dA on August 19th to share the history, culture, art, and lore that Fairs add to life with a few special tales about Tony and David. Join us to pay tribute to their vision. See More
