Allied Artists will hold an art show at the Village Green on October 20.
The Allied Artists of the Santa Monica Mountains and Seashore, whose motto is “Painting and Preserving the Santa Monica Mountains” will hold its 7th Annual Art on the Green Show from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., on Sunday, October 20, at Pacific Palisades Village Green, 15290 Sunset Boulevard.
Allied Artists of the Santa Monica Mountains and Seashore is a 20-year-old organization of local fine artists that paint representational art of the Santa Monica Mountains and beaches to promote appreciation of our environment.
The exhibit will feature many local artists displaying original, representational landscape and seascape paintings of the Santa
Monica Mountains National Recreation Area and National, and other Southern California National, State and local parks.
A portion of all sales supports the Palisades Village Green and local and national conservation organizations. The artists’ group also collaborates with national and local agencies such as National Wildlife Federation, #SaveLACougars, Mountains Restoration Trust, Western National Parks Association, National Park Service and King Gillette Visitor Center to present art shows and raise funds to help preserve the mountains and beaches.
Artists also support conservation and maintenance of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. The 156,000-acre recreation area stretches from Runyon and Franklin Canyons in Hollywood to Point Mugu State Park in Ventura County and contains more than 500 miles of trails including the 67-mile-long backbone trail that follows the crest of the coastal mountains from Will Rogers State Historic Park to Point Mugu State Park.
In addition to sponsoring art shows, the group also holds free monthly paint-outs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the second Saturday of the month. A painting demonstration and friendly critique are usually held at the paint-outs. The free paint-outs are open to any artist and any media and at any skill level.
