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).
Saturday, November 16 is our Annual Meeting, potluck, and Show & Tell! After a brief business meeting, we gather for potluck snacks and a chance to bring a piece of work that we want to share with the members. We ask that everyone bring finger food for the potluck and of course, something for the Show and Tell. MCAA is providing beverages.
Svetlana tells us that Kathleen Sewell volunteered to set up a table for an "Art Swap" at our Annual Meeting. This will include a chance to purchase art videos from our Media Library for a nominal donation. We no longer have anyone willing to volunteer to curate or bring the library to our monthly events, and the media is becoming technically limited. However, there are some wonderful gems in there...and you may still have a DVD on which to enjoy them.
In addition to offering selections from the entire MCAA Media Library, we encourage members to bring in any art materials, frames, art books, etc. that they would like to part with and de-clutter their studios. Even back issues of those wonderful art magazines have been a big hit! No need to price any items as all donations will be made on an "honor" basis and will go to benefit GASP (Get Art in the Schools Program) administered by our Mendocino Arts Council. Despite some improvement in funding for the arts, it's a long way from supporting the future young artists in our community.
It's a time for us to be thankful for what we have and to share what we can spare!
Please note the location for this particular meeting is different - it is being held at the First Baptist Church in the upstairs conference room (an elevator is available!) because the Garden Club is full of wreath making activities in November. Parking can be found around the corner and possibly in the bank's parking lot.
Kathleen Gordon-Burke has worked up the flyer using some of the work shared last year.
Saturday, November 16, 2019 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
First Baptist Church
302 Henry Street
Ukiah, CA 95482 (corner of Henry and Oak)
...is scheduled for December 13 from 11:30 am - 2:00 pm at the Garden Club. This is a catered event, so you will need to sign up and specify your preference for lunch. PLEASE read the flyer and registration forms carefully and note the deadline date of November 29 for receipt of your reservation/payment. The form also allows you to send in your MCAA renewal membership fee which is due January 1, 2020. Programs for next year are being developed and we should have a "sneak preview" by this luncheon. For this event, we will be back at the Garden Club.
...that one of your membership benefits is being able to display your art work at the Corner Gallery?
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 work 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.
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?
...is a long-term project undertaken by the Mendocino College. Click HERE for details about the Phoenix Project.
