Artists in Action
Our gallery is part studio: an artist is often working on a project and is happy to talk to you about the process or just let you observe. You might even have a chance to join in.
Most days are WYSIWYG. Sometimes artists plan ahead and we can post future sessions here.
GUEST ARTIST Brook Craddock
is displaying original colored pencil drawings done while visiting Mexico this past winter. Now living in Mendocino, Brook is from the East Coast via Santa Cruz.

Exploring Encaustics
Instructor: Lisa Orselli
Designed primarily for beginners this workshop will introduce you to some of the many ways you can work with this flexible medium. We’ll explore textures, layering, incising, adding paper and other objects as well as combining other media such as oil, pastels and graphite. It will be fun and you’ll end the day knowing how to safely set up at home.

Jim Moorehead photographs Mendocino Bay from our second floor deck on a lovely day. For wilder fare, be sure to see our show in June, which will feature Jim’s photos of Africa.
June 1 - July 6, 2010
This month features ACM Member Jim Moorehead.
The show, Wildlife Images in a Dry Country, presents dramatic scenes in Tansania, East Africa, during a severe drought. Join us on safari, through his visuals, to experience the heat, dust, desperate search for water, and adaptive behaviors, that affected the animals Jim captured with his camera. Sites visited include Serengeti Plain, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire National Park, and the slopes of Kilimanjaro. Refreshments at the Second Saturday opening will relieve the parched feeling that might develop while engaged in the show.
