RE: CORONAVIRUS PRECAUTIONS – updated information included
Dear Members of Mendocino County Art Association,
We are currently bombarded by nonstop news of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Our hearts go out to those throughout the world who are suffering from any aspect of the virus. We are fortunate that it has not reached our doorstep yet. Hopefully it never will. And hopefully it will not touch our loved ones living and working in other areas.
Based on directives, guidelines and cautions, many institutions are temporarily closed and public gatherings are discouraged. In accord with information provided regarding the importance of social distancing to aid in reducing the spread of the virus, the Board of MCAA has decided to cancel or reschedule upcoming events until recommended or mandated precautionary measures are relaxed.
To the best of our knowledge, in the short term, the following events are affected as described. Please check back to the MCAA website at http://www.mendocinoartassn.org or MCAA Facebook Page https://www.facebook.com/MendocinoCountyArtAssociation for future announcements.
March 21, 2020 – Ukranian Eggs with Jeanette Carson – This event is CANCELLED and refunds will be issued. This workshop may be rescheduled to a future date.
April 18, 2020 – Steampunk Watercolor with Jeannie Vodden – This event is CANCELLED and refunds will be issued. This workshop may be rescheduled to a future date.
May 16, 2020 – Plein Air Paint Out – Location to be determined – A location has not yet been pinned down. Due to the limited costs and commitments associated with a plein air event, we will continue to plan for the event for the time being. A decision whether or not to proceed with this event will be made by April 15, 2020.
We regret having to make these decisions. They are difficult, but we believe that they are responsibly necessary. We want to do our part to help protect the health of our members, families and the community at large.
In closing, while we are all distancing ourselves from public gatherings for the short term, I hope you can all find time to indulge yourselves in your artistic passions. Stay well and watch for notices from MCAA as this public health challenge runs its course.

President, MCAA
...have been canceled! They may be rescheduled at a future date.
...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.
...is a long-term project undertaken by the Mendocino College. Click HERE for details about the Phoenix Project.
