Community Calendar

Celebrate five decades of Mendocino Land Trust’s remarkable conservation legacy at the Kelley House Museum. This exhibit reveals "behind-the-scenery" stories through archival photos and documents that show exactly how your favorite trails, wildlife habitats, and hidden beaches were acquired and continue to be preserved. From its humble roots as a grassroots movement to its role as a cornerstone of local stewardship, you'll see the passion that keeps our home wild and wonderful. Join us to honor the enduring commitment that has protected the beauty and natural history of Mendocino for the last fifty years.
Exhibit runs April 2nd 2026 – June 1st 2026
Museum hours: Thursday – Monday, 11AM – 3PM

In April Partners Gallery is showing the mixed media works of Rachel Binah.
Rachel says:
“Having moved to Bend, Oregon to live on a farm with my family, I’ve been inspired by not only what is in my past, living on the stunning coast of Mendocino, but what is now my new home landscape of the High Desert in Oregon. I am still inspired by recycling discarded bits of paper, plastics and other materials. Some of these new pieces have sewn elements, and I am again inspired by using more colors than in previous work. My impressionist body of work is a tribute to the peaceful and meditative qualities that I feel when in connection to our High Desert.”

There is a Second Saturday Meet the Artist April 11 from 5-7pm.

Gallery hours are Thursday through Monday 11-4pm.

Join us this spring for a guided Rhododendron Walk at Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens with Dennis McKiver of the American Rhododendron Society’s local chapter. More than 1,000 rhododendrons can be seen blooming throughout the Gardens during peak bloom in March, April, and May. Learn more about the Gardens' signature collection, including more than 124 species of rhododendrons and 315 taxa, many of them developed by the region's prolific, enthusiastic, and generous rhododendron growers!

MAKERSPACE: FELTED LANDSCAPES
A Hands-On Program
Friday, April 17, 2026, at 3 PM (new date)

Verdant meadows, fluffy clouds, extravagant wildflowers – come experience the Zen of nature with zero hiking required. On Friday, April 17th at 3 p.m. the Ukiah Branch Library is pleased to introduce you to the therapeutic process of transforming downy wool fibers into miniature scenes of natural beauty with the cozy art of needle-felted landscapes. No experience is required – just curiosity, trust in the wool, and the willingness to stab it repeatedly to transform it into rolling hills or snow-laden mountains. Bring in a favorite landscape photo or find one on-line or in books at the Ukiah Branch Library. All other materials will be provided!

MEDIUM Art Center is a Deep Valley Arts Collective project.
The Deep Valley Arts Collective is a Mendocino County-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that believes in the transformative power of making and experiencing art. Formed in 2020, our mission is to create a culture that nurtures artists' development and success while contributing to the well-being of our community.

Mendocino Dance Project’s newest production in theaters uses contemporary dance to express the times we are currently living. Surface Tension explores what it means to stay human in turbulent times, giving voice to the chaos and undercurrents just beneath the surface. Artistic director Kara Starkweather weaves together a variety of themes into an evening length performance with dancers Emily Anthony, Priya Birchard, Jessica Curl, Mackenzie Rain, and Natalie Thiel-Gebheim.

Just below the surface the waters are chaotic, tossing us around from one extreme to the other. There is too much on our minds, too much to be reminded of, to consider, to witness, to discuss, to react to, to hold. How do we stay connected to our humanity? How do we stay soft and sensitive to one another when processing so much? Join us for Surface Tension as we find one another and stay resilient despite the chaos. In our shared experience we find strength, joy, and the space to finally exhale.
