The complex and nuanced relationships between people and Yosemite’s natural wonders come to life in this new online exhibition from Exhibit Envoy. The show features photographs from award-winning artist Jonas Kulikauskas, who brings his street photography sensibilities to the wilderness. His sharp eye reveals crowds clamoring to take the perfect selfie with Half Dome in the background and families cooling off in Tenaya Creek, while servers prep for diners at the Ahwahnee Hotel and rangers patrol the expansive Park.

The Grace Hudson Museum is at 431 S. Main St. in Ukiah. For more information please visit the website at www.gracehudsonmuseum.org.
