DESCRIPTION:The art speaks of hope.  It speaks of transformation.  It is rich in 
 variety and inspiration.  Some pieces are eloquent in their simplicity; 
 others are remarkably complex.  All are created, literally, from the 
 ashes…more specifically, from what remained within the ashes.\n\nA year 
 has passed since the Station Fire tore through the Angeles National Forest, 
 forever changing the lives of those who live in the forest, work in the 
 forest, and serve as first responders in emergencies.\n\nThe Station Fire 
 remains the largest wild land fire in the history of Los Angeles County, 
 and its management remains a topic of controversy.\n\nAriyana Gibbon knows 
 what fire can do to a person’s life.  She is a fire survivor.  She used 
 that memory, and empathy, to create the Healing From The Ashes art 
 exhibition.  The purpose of this very interactive, multi-media, 
 multi-artist collaborative endeavor is to sell pieces of art (composed from 
 remnants left behind by the fire) to benefit seven families who lost 
 everything in the fire and did not have insurance.\n\nNearly ninety homes, 
 businesses and structures were lost in the fire, and two Los Angeles County 
 firefighters perished in the blaze.  Much of the community that once 
 thrived at the base of the Angeles National Forest is gone now.  Some 
 people have chosen to rebuild.  Others have moved on.  And others simply 
 cannot afford to rebuild.  \n\nThe show includes 33 contributing artists 
 and over 65 artworks to choose from, which are being sold using a silent 
 auction format at the show, which runs October 3 through October 21 at the 
 Century 21 Crest Building in Sunland, California.\n\nSpecial events have 
 been a part of the show since its opening.  Saturday, October 16 artists 
 will demonstrate the techniques they used to create pieces from the 
 remnants collected after the fire.\n\nOn Sunday, October 17 a poetry 
 reading, “Inspired By The Fire” with Jane Fontana, Dorothy Skiles and 
 other poets will be held from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.\n\nOn the closing evening 
 of the show, Corina Roberts will present the Forest Recovery Project, a 
 visual documentary of the recovery of the Angeles National Forest from the 
 fire, followed by a closing reception from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.\n\nThe gallery 
 is open from noon to 6 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.  The gallery is 
 located on the east end of the Century 21 Crest Building, 8263 Foothill 
 Boulevard, Sunland, California 91040.  A website, HealingFromTheAshes.org, 
 has been created for the show where many of the works can be viewed.  All 
 proceeds will be donated to the families who lost everything in the fire 
 and at the time of the fire had no insurance.  The suggested donation for 
 all events is $10.00.\n\n\n\n\n\n
