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).
Spencer Brewer & Esther Siegel
Inside the artists' studio and home, you will see many finished pieces and assemblages, as well as collected materials to be used in future creations. Each piece has a story behind it: where the objects came from, their history, why they have been combined the way they have. Esther's and Spencer's art works are unique!
The event is free for members and non-members. For more information, click HERE for the poster.

We invite you to renew your membership (still only $35.00!). If you know any artists who aren't members, perhaps you can introduce them to our group? The application/renewal form can be found on this website; just print it, fill it out, and mail it in with your check payable to MCAA!
...will be an exciting workshop with Jeanette Carson! Jeanette will lead you through the process for painting your own Ukrainian Eggs and explain how to create Etched Eggs. The workshop is free to members and only $25.00 for non-members. There will be a materials fee of $15.00 (payable to the instructor) to cover the costs of the basic kits. The workshop will take place on March 21, 2020 from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm at the Ukiah Garden Clubhouse.

February- Quick Draw 3.0:
Live models will be drawn by selected artists while gallery visitors look on and admire the process. Wall art created by the participating artists will be on display throughout the month, as well as drawings they create during the event.
The First Friday live event is February 7, 2020 from 5:00 - 8:00 pm.
March - Artist in Residence:
ACU will debut their exciting new Artist in Residence program this month, so stay tuned. This show will not be open to the public. Details will be announced on the ACU website.
The First Friday show opening will be on March 6 2020, from 5:00 - 8:00 pm.
April - Our Precious Planet:
In honor of Earth Day in April, ACU invites artists to create pieces in all media that relate to our environment, global warming, or the immense beauty of our planet. Both two- and three-dimensional entries are welcome.
Open to all Mendocino and Lake County residents, $25.00 fee for the first entry, $10.00 for each subsequent entry, with checks made out to Art Center Ukiah. Completed entry forms and all ready-to-hang work (NO sawtooth hangers) must be delivered for jurying to the Corner Gallery (201 S State Street in Ukiah) no later than noon on Wednesday April 1, 2020. Artists are encouraged to email photos of their submissions to acuentries@yahoo.com by the middle of March for possible inclusion in the publicity for the show. A refund will be given to the artist for any work not accepted in the show.
...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.
