APRIL 2016 UPDATE
April means spring is here and with it comes a focus on our environment and natural resources. There are a number of events this month that highlight our relationship with "Spaceship Earth" including: Green Drinks at Claremont Craft Ales on April 21, Claremont's Earth Day on April 23rd, the Claremont Garden Club's annual Garden Tour on April 24th, art shows and much, much more.
Please join us in celebrating and preserving our heritage at a very special Annual Gala on April 16th at the historic Padua Hills Theatre. We will honor Pilgrim Place and the First Street Gallery Art Center with our annual awards! John Edward Svenson 1923 - 2016
We were saddened to learn that Master Sculptor, John Edward Svenson, passed away April 2, 2016. John's son David posted this on his Facebook page, "At one month away from 93 he was gifted and blessed in life creating his art, environment and a beautiful family." He will be missed. Please learn more about this amazing artist by watching the short film produced by Philip Jimenez last year. (click image to view film)
Philip Jimenez is a talented filmmaker who has created a number of short films for Claremont Heritage that utilize story-telling to document our history. You can view other films by Philip Jimenez HERE
As the only not-for-profit organization in Claremont, CA charged with documenting, maintaining and disseminating our City's history the responsibility is enormous. History does not stop for anyone, it is a continual process that unless preserved and documented can be lost forever.
