Rescheduled to June 1 due to rain!
Clark Mitchell is a most requested teacher by former class attendees due to his incredible skills and compassionate teaching style. Clark will demonstrate his how-to approach to the challenges of outdoor painting. He will be using pastels, but he is also an oil painter and all art mediums will benefit from his plein air experience. Students will set-up easels in and around the gorgeous Barra vineyards and Clark will move around throughout the day to provide individual attention and instruction. If time allows, there will be an additional demo to observe how Clark’s piece develops toward completion.

...on May 3! Members Dorleen McBride and Svetlana Artemoff will have their work up at the Corner Gallery and Cathy Monroe is teaching a family friendly solar print workshop at the Grace Hudson Museum. Besides the workshop, the museum will also have a pop-up exhibit of photography by local artist, Jeff Trouette.
...Registration for all Summer Art Stays is open! For those of you who don't know about Emandal, it is an historic old family camp on the Eel River east of Willits, where summers are now dedicated to getting artists together for the time of their lives. There will be three full days sandwiched by two half days to explore, create, share inspiration and enjoy the creative process.
Perks are incredible organic home-cooked food (much of which is harvested daily from the enormous garden), a lovely happy hour with all of the other artists from the various workshops, all the time you want to lounge in or near the river, or read in the library, and bottomless home-roasted coffee throughout the day. All included in the very reasonable fee.
Please go to the emandal.com website to view the possibilities. You can scroll down on the "Art Stays" button to find workshops with complete descriptions and materials lists."

..."An Herbal Treasury," which is a watercolor and herb class. This class offers you an opportunity to paint, create your own journal, and make wonderful medicinal and body products that you can take home.
...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?
