Through the Artists’ Eyes: Popularizing and Preserving National Parks

Special Program for Participating Artists

Sue Moynihan, Chief of Interpretation and Cultural Resources Management at Cape Cod National Seashore, will present Through the Artists’ Eyes: Popularizing and Preserving National Parks at the Salt Pond Visitor Center, 50 Nauset Road, Eastham. During her 34-year career with the National Park Service, Moynihan has worked in some of our nation’s most compelling natural and historic sites, including Big Bend, Muir Woods, Yosemite, Great Smoky Mountains, Canyon de Chelly, and Alcatraz Island. This illustrated program will explore landscape painters and photographers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, with a focus on how their works inspired tourism and preservation, and how today’s artists perpetuate this legacy.
