THE BEAUTY OF OUR COAST
Mendocino Art Center’s Member’s Exhibition 2025
What calls us to the Mendocino Coast? Is it the stunning sunsets, the mystical whales or the fluttering and fleeting hummingbirds? Is it the abundant botanicals like Fuchsias, Nasturtium or Matilija poppies? Is it the mushrooms, the banana slugs, the foxes or the mountain lions? There is so much unique beauty on the Coast to appreciate. What beauty inspires you?
We welcome our members to bring one piece of artwork to exhibit. We will be accepting work on a first-come, first-serve basis and will do our best to include all members into the exhibit. We will be awarding recognition of excellence through a community vote.
