Registration is now open for the 3rd annual Willits Center for the Arts Kid’s Summer Camp with Caroline Hambright, art teacher at Willits Charter School. July 7-11, 2025 Monday through Friday, Ages: 7 – 12, 10am - 3pm. Tuition is $325. Register at https://www.willitscenterforthearts.org.
Activities have included Street Art, still life draw/paint-along, plein air painting, butterfly symmetry monoprints, radial symmetry, mandala block printing, paper sculptures, paper mache ice cream cones, collage, assemblage, read-aloud, as well as park playtime.
Caroline Hambright’s recent work was born out of a passion for creating art that captures the beauty of nature, expresses the wonder of childhood, and inspires internal peace.
In addition to teaching children, Caroline is an accomplished fine artists. Caroline explores many sides of painting. She uses the Alla Prima oil painting method in order to capture the immediacy of her inspiration. While her subject matter may vary from epic vistas to old cars to kitchen items, her color palette remains subdued with pops of bright color. For her murals, Caroline uses acrylic paint. Through years of practice and experimentation, she has honed her craft and mastered different mediums and techniques. While her teaching expertise helps her create art pleasing to children, her background in fine art informs her creations for the seasoned eye.
A Santa Barbara native, Caroline has been making art since she could hold a pencil. She graduated from Santa Barbara High School’s Visual Arts and Design program and later studied art at Santa Barbara City College. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Art from San Francisco State University and is a credentialed teacher. While teaching art in Goleta, her Summer Solstice poster design earned her Summer Solstice Artist of the Year. She went on to create three separate parade floats. Caroline ended up turning her attention to murals, and between jobs she set up an oil painting studio at home. She now teaches junior high and high school art at Willits Charter School in Willits, CA.

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

There will be both an art and storytelling component to this month-long PRIDE celebration. Information and entry forms are available at the Corner Gallery (201 S State St in Ukiah) or online at www.cornergalleryukiah.com. The First Friday opening celebration is June 6 from 5-8pm with live music by Charlie Seltzer.
