Sarah Logan and Isaac Fisher present new work at Northcoast Artists Gallery. Sarah is returning from a 2-month artist residency at Cobb Mountain Art and Ecology Project with new wood fired ceramic sculpture. And Isaac is exhibiting new lathe-turned wooden objects that combine simple forms with fine detailing. Logan’s wood-fired ceramic sculptures are inspired by natural processes and systems.

Opening reception is First Friday, Aug. 1, 5-8pm. On exhibit through September 2, 2025.

Wolf Tree plays acoustic Americana at Northspur Brewing every first Friday of the month. Wolf Tree presents a curated mix of Alt Country and Americana songs, and alternates between guitar, mandolin, and octave mandolin – often with harmonica accompaniment. If you enjoy the likes of Townes van Zandt, John Prine, Colter Wall, Son Volt, or Gillian Welch, you’re sure to hear something you love.

As one of Shakespeare’s most well-known comedies, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is full of a collection of chaotic characters. From the four lovers to the bubbling players, from the fairy nobility to the silly Puck, Shakespeare allows us to let go. For a couple of hours, we get the chance to escape. In the midst of all that is happening in our world, I hope that our production offers a comical respite and a moment of fun.

Willits Community Theatre presents Shrek The Musical Jr. at the Willits Charter School August 1-10.

"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.

Come join us for this SENSE-ational camp where your child will have the opportunity to deepen their connection to nature through their senses each day. Through the lenses of their senses we will explore and discover more about the wild beauty found along the Mendocino Coast. Weekly sessions are: June 23rd-27th, July 7th-11th, July 21st-25th, July 28th-August 1st and August 4th-8th. Camp happens daily, Monday-Friday from 10AM-3PM.
