A Progressive Ensemble
Nathan Burger and Annamarie DeAngelo, Wild Colors 2.0.
Art Explorers is pleased to present A PROGRESSIVE ENSEMBLE, a group exhibition highlighting artwork from eight progressive art studios at the historic Mendocino Art Center.
Co-curated by the studio artists at Art Explorers, this exhibition is a celebration of the vibrant communities of artists participating in progressive art studios throughout the country and the contributions these individuals are making to the contemporary art world. It is a pleasure to share this world of creativity with Mendocino County on the 25th anniversary year of the Art Explorers studio art program.
This exhibition is made possible through a partnership with our friends at the Mendocino Art Center, and features artwork across mediums including painting, weaving, sculpture, and mixed media.
We invite you to join us to celebrate this amazing group of artists at the Mendocino Art Center. A PROGRESSIVE ENSEMBLE is an opportunity to come together in joy and broaden our community, and to stand united with progressive art studios across the country in the fight for social visibility, inclusion, and respect.
Participating studios include Alchemia (Petaluma, CA); Art Explorers (Fort Bragg, CA); Cedars Art Studios (Ross, CA); Center for Creative Works (Wynnewood, PA); Elbow Room (Portland, OR); Fresh Eye Arts (Twin Cities, MN); Make Studio (Baltimore, MD); Neighborhood Center of the Arts (Grass Valley, CA).
Our Plant Community: A Salmon Creek Farm Collaborative Field Guide, Project by Alex Arzt and Fritz Haeg
Our Plant Community: A Salmon Creek Farm Collaborative Field Guide is a collection of drawings and descriptions of sixty flora found at Salmon Creek Farm in Albion, CA. The field guide was created during three gatherings facilitated by Alex Arzt in May 2018, May 2019, and December 2019 by twenty participants. The original drawings were made on watercolor paper with india ink, pen, and natural pigments. They were then scanned and printed on the Risograph machine to create this compilation. This project was made with a spirit of curiosity and amateurism in order to forge a deeper connection to the place through the plants, all the while building a resource to be utilized by visitors and residents of the Northern California Coastal Forests.
The Sun at Mid-Day
The inaugural cohort of Schools of Salmon Creek is pleased to present “The Sun at Mid-Day,” an exhibition at The Mendocino Art Center. The show collects work from the cohort imagined and produced over the course of their time on the land. The group presents artifacts and evidence of their ongoing creative exploration informed by, and in conversation with, the world of Salmon Creek Farm. The show will have a public opening on July 12th beginning at 5:00pm, with a performance at 6:30pm.
