Welcome to MCAA

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).

Happy New Year!

Since we cannot be confident that our events will not be the locus of viral spread, all social events scheduled for 2020 are canceled.

Be careful and stay well as this public health challenge runs its course, and please continue checking this MCAA website or the MCAA Facebook Page for announcements on future events and activities.

Notes of interest:

Be sure to check the links...

...under Newsletters (in the menu on the left). While we do not currently have a newsletter, Kathleen Gordon-Burke (MCAA's VP, Publicity Maven and retired Newsletter writer) has solicited recent works from the membership and published them using her old newsletter format. You will be impressed by the beautiful art created by our friends during this most unusual time!

Kathleen also publishes occasional items of interest and we are using the Newsletter links to make that information available to you.

A letter from the Arts Council of Mendocino...

...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

...can be found on our website HERE.

Have you forgotten...

...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.
