[May 9]
What does a woodblock printing by Toshi Yoshida, a friendship quilt made by Dorcas Aid Society Members in Covelo, and a puppet made by Art and Revolution in commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Judi Bari and Deryl Cherny’s car bombing have in common? These rarely seen art pieces have a historical significance to Mendocino county and they are just a few of the arts and crafts that will be unveiled in the Art Remembered - 45 Years at the Mendocino County Museum exhibit opening on May 9, 2018.
Over the years, the Museum has been a champion of the arts through partnerships, collecting, and commissions. It has also been instrumental in publishing several books through the Mendocino County Museum Grassroots History Publication which are still available for sale in our gift store.
According to Curator Karen Mattson, “It is the intent of the exhibit to inspire reflection and to generate enthusiasm for the future of the museum.” She invites visitors to share their vision and ideas for the museum at a cooperative arts table located adjacent to the exhibit.
The Museum is located at 400 East Commercial Street in Willits, and is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00am to 4:30pm. Admission: Adults $4; Students $1; and Children under 6 Free.
