'The Man Beneath the Paint: California Impressionist Tilden Daken'
​
Daken's graddaughter Bonnie Portnoy will be at the Divde Gallery on September 28th from 4-6pm to talk about the life and times of the famed Georgetown Artist
​​​
Tilden Daken, the once-celebrated California impressionist painter who at one time mined and painted in El Dorado County, comes to vivid life in a new book by the artist’s granddaughter, Bonnie Portnoy.
"Besides the remarkable adventures and his art, you will enjoy his Georgetown history".
"As a child he mined in the Georgetown region with his father and in his late teens returned to the mines as a mine mucker in the 1890s during a recession," Portnoy explained. "During the Great Depression, when he was unable to sell art, he returned to the mines. First in Bootjack for nine months and then he moved to Georgetown in 1932."
Daken died in 1935 and is buried in the Georgetown Pioneer Cemetery.

AODC Celebrates more than a decade on the Divide, your local source for gifts and fine art...
We are excited that we will be able to celebrate our 14th Anniversary on the Divide this June with a continued celebration of the Arts
​
AODC gallery currently has eleven local artists. As time has progressed our roster of active artists has changed as artists have joined or leave for various reasons. The one constant thing is the collavorative spirit in which we operate to help the arts thrive on The Divide. The gallery is always open to artists that provide something new and different. If you, or someone you know is looking to join the gallery , the application and information regarding membership is available here...
AODC artists continue to "refresh" the gallery monthly with new art. Providing the community with workshops to teach various art techniques and receptions to showcase the art are typical of our monthly offerings. We welcome feedback from the community to help us plan workshops. What would you like to learn? Past workshops have included jewelry, stained glass, mask making, collage and rose-pruning.Directly behind the gallery is a historic rose garden that is maintained by the artists. We have been fortunate to have the Divide Garden Club help with rose-pruning, and hope to continue with that collaboration. They have also been generous in awarding the gallery many years of grants to help with this maintenance.AODC gallery is pleased to provide a space for local student art, under the leadership of Susan Sasano, a local volunteer. She reaches out to our local schools and will switch out the artwork regularly.
