Families gather around Sunnylands exhibition Reach for the Sky: Tradition + Inspiration

Families were invited to Sunnylands Center and Gardens to celebrate the exhibition, Reach for the Sky: Tradition + Inspiration, featured works of art by First Nations Kwakiutl carvers Henry Hunt, Stanley C. Hunt, and Jason Henry Hunt, and musician Herb Alpert.

The event gave the public access to the Annenberg Estate to see a 30 foot totem pole created by Henry Hunt, who is described as one Canada's most renowned tribal carvers.

Organizers shuttled people to the totem pole which stands on the fifth hole of the golf course at the estate.

The family day activities included wood carving, demonstrations by members of the Hunt family, craft activities and more.

“The strength and beauty of totem poles each figure has a meaning, each figure is about our family, it's what our dad envisioned at that time," said Stanley Hunt, son of Henry Hunt.
