FIRST FRIDAY - Photo of the Month - Featured photographer John Birchard’s new image, Mendocino Sunset Panorama, 38” x 14” ultra-wide-pano landscape photo debuts starting First Friday, April 3rd, 2026 at the Mendocino Coast Photographers Gallery, Fort Bragg, CA. This exhibition continues all month.

Join us and have a look at the Featured Photo of the Month by John Birchard, snacks, lots of wonderful photos and ceramics and to meet the other members of the gallery.

Two Santa Barbara artists, Dane Goodman and Marie Schoeff, are being featured at Partners Gallery from May 7 to June 8.

Between Ordinary - Marie Schoeff
Schoeff’s monoprints on paper combine relief and drypoint techniques to create singular prints. Layering archetypal spherical shapes with raw linear marks offers a spectrum of interpretations. With Schoeff’s minimal use of elements, color speaks first, setting an ethereal tone.
Commoners – Dane Goodman
Goodman’s work often uses common materials, such as cereal bags, soap, and children’s art supplies, along with low-tech processes. He sees these overlooked materials as having creative potential and relatability. This approach lends itself to an inherent democratic sensibility in what he makes.

There is a Second Saturday Meet the Artists May 9th from 5-7 pm.

Hours are Thursday - Monday, 11 am to 4 pm

A series of Yoga classes with Mary Paffard to mellow our way into Summer. Suitable for a wide variety of practitioner. Stretching, Strengthening, Breathwork and Balancing Body, Mind and Heart. A wonderful way to revive or inspire a yoga practice and some equanimity in challenging times.
