"The Art of Wonder" highlights work by 15 Mendocino County artists that create a sense of wonder, emanating from the subject matter, the style, or both. Ranging through various mediums and featuring a vast catalogue of creatures, "The Art of Wonder" playfully and reverently pushes the boundaries of their artwork.

'Playing With Perception' is an exhibition of mind-bending optical illusion paintings by local artist Richard Weiss here at Highlight Gallery in Mendocino. Henry Matisse has said: “We should always see life as we did in childhood.” Adhering plainly to this statement, Richard says, "I enjoy creating interactive mind bending optical illusion paintings. The work is in relief but is painted to appear like a conventional flat picture. Movements of the observer result in fluid distortions of the pictorial image, engaging viewers into a playful participation. The goal of my work is to infuse whimsical happiness to viewers by surprising and engaging them into a playful participation, allowing them to create their own unique experience of the optical illusion."

It’s going to be a hoppy summer thanks to the Kelley House Museum’s new exhibit on Mendocino’s beer brewing heritage. On Tap traces the deep roots and rich stories behind one of Northern California’s most spirited industries—from the small breweries that served the local lumber workers to the craft beer renaissance that put Mendocino on the national brewing map. Kelley House members are invited to an opening reception on Saturday, June 7th, 4:00pm – 5:30pm.

The exhibit showcases the evidence left behind by the 19th century breweries through archival photographs, newspaper clippings, and maps, while spotlighting the people—German immigrants, local entrepreneurs, and counterculture trailblazers—who turned hops and barley into a beverage that has sustained the community for almost two centuries. Well, except for those Prohibition years, but even then the beer makers and consumers could not be thwarted! (You’ll have to visit the exhibit to discover what a “blind pig” was.) Learn how the region’s natural abundance, independent spirit, and love of experimentation gave rise to groundbreaking breweries like the North Coast Brewing Company, one of the pioneer craft beer makers in the United States. Guest Curator: Robert Dominy.

Weekly Protest: Stand Up for Our Rights

This is a peaceful protest. We're gathering to say NO to the erosion of civil rights and human rights and the loss of critical government functions. NO to unconstitutional deportations. NO to the destruction of social security. NO to authoritarianism! Please stay on the sidewalk and avoid blocking entrances, exits, or traffic. Bring a sign, a friend, and your enthusiasm! And when you can, spend a little money at our local downtown businesses. We will keep up this joyful resistance until the rule of law is restored and the assault on the US Constitution ends. Join us! Organized by Indivisible Mendocino
