Cathedral City community garden & composting program wins award
The California Resource Recovery Association (CRRA) just announced that the Cathedral City Community Garden & Composting Program is the recipient of the 2015 “Next Generation” Recycler Award. This award honors the efforts of the City to involve youth or youth groups in promoting waste prevention, recycling, composting, and zero waste. Ms. Deanna Pressgrove, Ca-
thedral City’s Environmental Conservation & Public Works Manager, created the organic gardening program just a few short years ago by partnering with local public schools. Several enthusiastic teachers at two schools incorporated it into their educational curriculums to teach students how to garden and use fresh ingredients to create healthy, delicious meals. The success of the program continued to thrive as children grew fresh fruits and vegetables that they had never seen before or tasted. Ms. Pressgrove opened the process for more schools to apply for a community garden. Over the past few years, six schools in Cathedral City have requested and installed gardens including Agua Caliente Elementary, Sunny Sands Elementary, Cathedral City Elementary, Rio Vista Elementary, Nellie Coffman Middle, and James Workman Middle schools.
“Our students at Nellie Coffman love the garden,” says middleschool teacher Sara Hadley. “They start their day tending to the needs of the garden. We see how the vegetables we grow can turn into delicious and healthy foods with no pesticides or preservatives. Students, who don’t like tomatoes, suddenly want to go eat tomatoes straight from the garden.”
at their facilities.
In the future, the City hopes to extend the program to individual residents who take a mandatory gardening class. The idea is to reduce product packaging that often ends up in a landfill, reduce the need to transport fruits and vegetables thereby shrinking our carbon footprint, and provide families with the knowledge to The Cathedral City Boys and grow organic foods, free of pesGirls Club has also taken advan- ticides, in the convenience of tage of the garden program as their own backyards. they host 10 beds while teaching kids how to process vegetables Ms. Pressgrove will accept the for healthy recipes including prestigious award on behalf of fresh salsa made with organical- the City at CRRA Annual Conferly grown peppers and tomatoes. ence and Tradeshow on ThursThe City now offers a garden day, August 6 in Los Angeles. program to the over-55, senior communities as a group-focused For more information about the outdoor activity.

New exhibition
“Still Life: Capturing the Moment”
Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert, The Galen and the Faye Sarkowsky Sculpture Garden introduces the exhibition Still Life: Capturing the Moment, on view from August 7 through February 21, 2016. With a creative mix of art works from the museum’s holdings and on loan from private collections, this exhibition looks beyond the classical definition of a “still life” to explore why this esteemed genre continues to compel artists today.
Throughout time, visual artists have delighted in the excitement of transforming commonplace objects into symbolic encounters with the world and self. Bringing together paintings, sculptures, photographs, and a surprising variety of other media, this exhibition studies the powerful psychological and associational value of altering time, place, and imagery into an artistic still life. In the early twentieth-century, photographers such as Cy DeCosse, Baron Adolf De Meyer, and Paul Strand focused on capturing the sensual elements of light, texture, and form in everyday life. Today, contemporary photographers including Tom Baril, Michael Childers, and John Dugdale reveal the passion to document, describe, and celebrate material pleasures
and possessions. Many still lifes require meticulous renderings and pure technical virtuosity. In seductive paintings by Bruce Cohen, Helen Lundeberg, and Paul Wonner, these masterful skills are employed to transform the commonplace into visual illusions of imaginative and complex beauty. New media installations by artists such as Jennifer Steinkamp and Catherine Chalmers expand beyond the genre’s conventions to produce alluring contemporary innovations, while artist Ori Gersht creates a mesmerizing film that literally explodes the idea of still life. Taken together, this exhibition offers a refreshing, pleasurable, and often surprising look at the art of still life. This exhibition is organized by Palm Springs Art Museum and funded by Erik E. and Edith H. Bergstrom Foundation. Additional support is provided by Contemporary Art Council Silver Sponsors Naomi and Jeffrey Caspe, and Tom Minder. For more information, please visit www.psmuseum.org, or call (760) 346-5600. Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert is located at 72567 Highway 111, Palm Desert, CA 92260. Palm Springs Art Museum in Palm Desert is open year-round.
