SunMt was started by the man who took most of the photographs of those involved in the United Farm Workers Union.
Most of those pictures of Cesar Chavez in the 1960's were taken by Elfie Ballis and his to be wife Maia was also there at the movement.

They went onto start SunMt.
SunMt is a physical place, but also a state of mind that lives in the hearts of the people it touches. SunMt is a small private non-profit educational organization that has operated since 1983 as a 40 acre land trust in the Sierra foothills above Fresno between Yosemite and Sequoia.
A Green living research center (solar ovens, straw bale houses, retreat center, etc. )

and incredible multimedia of decades of social justice documentaries.

Elfie passed away but Maia has kept SunMt going. .but she is now selling her artwork to fund it, to keep it going.
Take a look a look at these incredible art work of the central valley foothills, the central coast ocean, and other places.
it goes to a an incredible cause that is not appreciated as it should be.
there are incredible video clips of historic moments in CA history, of info on how to live with the Earth and off the earth.
This week we have an opportunity to support SunMt and enrich our personal space with Maia's art
If you have time, look beyond the current show to the more extensive "Gallery" on the SunMt website and then browse the site to learn about or be reminded of the creative "dance" of Maia and Elfie.
