June 21, 2011 – September 11, 2011
Featuring: Marc Muench | Jack Baldelli | Carlos de la Rosa
Approximately 20 miles off Los Angeles’s coast and beyond Avalon’s quaint seaside charm lies the wild and rugged terrain of Catalina Island. Volcanic activity on the Pacific Ocean floor formed a chain of islands from which Santa Catalina emerged rocky, arid, and devoid of terrestrial life. Over time and through various means Catalina Island was colonized by all manner of flora and fauna, forming its own unique ecosystem. It is the mandate of the Catalina Island Conservancy to steward the land, protecting native species and managing non-natives like the famed Catalina bison. Nature photographers Marc Muench, Jack Baldelli and Carlos de la Rosa present two perspectives on the land, sea and endemic species of Catalina: The Wildlands at Your Doorstep.
Reception July 8, 2011, 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
