Art Galleries

The Southern Yosemite area has become a mecca for the arts. Painters, writers, musicians, actors, sculptors, poets and photographers find inspiration in the magnificent beauty of this region.

Listen to the haunting sounds of Native American flutes and drums. Step back in time as you watch tribal dancing at the Pow Wows held throughout the year.

Move to the beat of jazz at Bass Lake, tap your foot to the music at the California Old Times Fiddlers Association competition in Madera, and swing to the tunes at the Summerfest Music and Crafts Fair in Oakhurst.

Feast your eyes on beauty displayed at the myriad of galleries throughout the area featuring local and nationally known artists.

Boo the villain, cheer the hero and sigh with the heroine at classic melodrama presented by the Golden Chain Theater in Oakhurst. Now in its 36th season, the shows include can-can dancing by the Grub Gulch Garter Girls and the hilarious antics of the Grub Gulch Grannies. Maybe you'll even catch the Grub Gulch Grandpas.

A rich variety of professional plays is presented by the Front Row Theater at the Enterprise Center in Oakhurst. Immerse yourself in the characters portrayed by actors performing classic and contemporary theater works.
