Mendocino County Art Association (MCAA) is the oldest art association in Mendocino County. Artists of all media, skill levels and interests are welcome to join our group for inspiration, support and camaraderie.
On these pages, you will find the many benefits available to members (from education programs to an Open Studio). We would love to have you join and participate in as many activities as possible.
Navigate through our website by clicking on the navigation menu items to the left of any page or on most underlined text. Remember to reload the page to make sure you are viewing the most recent information, because things can change.
The menu item "What's Happening" (to the left of this window) lists all events for the year (links will provide more details).
Dear Members,
Two years ago, due to the virus, we had to cancel the Ukrainian Egg Painting workshop featuring Jeanette Carson as the instructor.
With the recent war in the Ukraine, Jeanette approached our Board and asked if we could re-schedule the workshop as soon as possible. She felt a strong need to "do something" that would show solidarity with the people of the Ukraine. As many approach the Easter holiday, the eggs strongly symbolize a message of hope. She is waiving her stipend and making a donation to the Ukrainian relief efforts and is only charging a small amount to help offset the cost of assembling the materials for our group.
Consequently, our apologies for such short notice. Although a beautiful flyer (thank you Kathleen Gordon-Burke) is available with complete details (pick "Now" on the menu to the left), some of you have had trouble opening them in the past, so I'll restate the information here as well:
DATE Saturday, March 19, 2022
TIME: 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.
LOCATION: Ukiah Garden Club, 1203 W. Clay St., Ukiah
Members Free/Non-Members $15 plus Materials Fee $15
Please bring cash/exact change to pay for your materials fee; Non-member workshop fee can be paid by check payable to MCAA.
Coffee/tea will be available in the morning, but participants should bring their own lunch.
Although current covid protocols do not require masking, it is encouraged and enrollment is limited to allow each participant with their own separate table with adequate distance and ventilation.
ENROLLMENT IS LIMITED and if you'd like to join us, please contact Jeannette Carson, either by phone or email (found on the poster).
This will be the first workshop that MCAA has been able to offer since the start of COVID and will not be our last!
I'd like to take some photos of our group that day, together with our Ukrainian Eggs to send along with Jeanette's donation to their people.
Warmest,
Svetlana Artemoff
emessenger and MCAA Board Member
PS: If you haven't renewed your membership for this year, you can bring your check for $35 to the workshop and we can take care of that as well.
...is back! It will start again on Saturday, March 12 at the Corner Gallery and occur on the second Saturday of every month.
Please be aware that indoor masking is still required by the County Health Department.
...Dear Arts Community,
With fire season and potential PSPS upon us — concurrent with the pandemic — we are sharing a new resource:
ACMC Emergency Preparedness website page. If you have not yet developed an emergency plan, this page could be a good place to start.
More information, grants & resources for artists & art organizations can be found here:
ACMC COVID-19 RESOURCE AND RESPONSE CENTER.
Thank you,
Bill

...that one of your membership benefits is being able to display your art work at the Corner Gallery? It doesn't take very many pieces to fill the panel and won't it be a thrill to walk into the gallery on First Friday and see your work hanging there?
MCAA has pre-paid a portion of the rental cost for two panels, loosely referred to as the "pony walls," each measuring approximately 3 feet wide by 6 feet tall. A member can hang their smaller pieces on one of the panels for a fee of only $25.00 for the entire month!
Jeanette Carson coordinates the schedule so if you are interested, please contact her at 707-462-8916 and she can give you all the details.
