"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.

We are pleased to host a show of wonderful new work by talented artists Sally Cataldo and Francine Hurd here at Highlight Gallery in Mendocino! Sally will be showing her new, exciting, mixed media abstract paintings and her mother, Francine, is a pastel artist and paints lovely, serene landscapes. The show will run from September 5th through September 30th. There will also be a chance to meet them in person between 4pm and 7pm on September 13th during Mendocino's monthly Second Saturday Art Walk event. We hope you can find a little time to stop in and feast your eyes on their beautiful art!

In September Partners Gallery presents a retrospective of work by Joan Burleigh. Burleigh has been living and making art on the Mendocino coast for more than 50 years. She has worked mainly with acrylic on paper. She exhibited with Partners Gallery for a number of years. Now, the gallery is honoring her with a retrospective show of selected works from her lengthy career. Of her work she says: “I paint to reach the place within me that is free of controls and boundaries; where, on a fortunate day, my spirit can soar!”

The show opens September 11 and continues through October 6.
There is a Second Saturday Meet the Artist September 13, 5-7pm.

Partners is at 45062 Ukiah St in Mendocino, CA.
Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday 11 to 5pm.
