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.

The Mendocino Art Center’s Artist in Residency (AiR) program is an 8-month residency designed for ceramics and multidisciplinary artists, with an emphasis on ceramics. This program provides an opportunity for artists to deepen their practice while engaging in a supportive artist community. Artists in Residence will be housed on-site and have 24-hour secure access to their studio.
