Willits Center for the Arts Small Works Call to Members

Time to get ready for Small Works!

Willits Center for the Arts is looking for member artists to exhibit smaller pieces (2D pieces 12" x 16" or under) for sale during our annual Small Works Show in December. It’s only $30 and up to become a member/renew and that can happen at the curator drop off in December! Paintings, sculpture, fabric, glass, prints, photographs, sets of greeting cards and more are welcome. Please plan to deliver your art to the gallery on Tuesday December 2, 2025, between 10am and 2pm. Show opens on December 6, 2025. For questions about submissions, please contact the Gallery Curator at margi@mcn.org

The Room Where It Happens is Carolyn Schneider's new show at Partners Gallery in Mendocino. Her drawings continue to present human/animal beings in a variety of settings: in the studio, during the green flash, trying to jump through hoops. Schneider's art is heavily influenced by narrative fiction and her work designing sets at the Mendocino Theatre Company. Schneider says, "Theatre is a black box that can be transformed into a world where different characters live out a story.”
The work is pastel, acrylic, and gouache on paper.

There is a Second Saturday Meet the Artist October 11, 5-7pm

Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday 11am through 5pm.
