Getting High on Nature
Featuring Karl Dempwolf
September 7 - October 27, 2024

Coming soon to the Cambria Center for the Arts Gallery is an exciting new exhibit, Getting High on Nature. The show will open on Saturday, September 7 and will run for seven weeks, through Sunday, October 27. There will be an Artist Reception on Saturday September 7 from 4:30-6:00 in the evening, with live music, sweet and savory treats, wine available for purchase, and of course, an abundance of inspiring art reflecting nature.

The featured artist for this event will be the celebrated Karl Dempwolf. Karl specializes in plein air painting and was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the National Plein Air Convention in April of 2017. His work has been shown in various Southern California exhibitions, including The Museum of Science and Industry, Pepperdine University, and the Carnegie Art Museum. He has also been featured in various publications and is included in the permanent collections of several large corporations, including McGraw-Hill Publishers and the National Park Foundation. One of his paintings recently found its way back to his home country, when President Obama presented Karl’s work, "Cypress Veil," to Chancellor Angela Merkel as a diplomatic gift when she visited the White House Rose Garden.
