The following is a press release from the Mendocino Arts Center:
The Mendocino Art Center spotlights the creative works of the 2021/22 Artists in Residence (AIR), December 10 through January 2, in the Main Gallery.
The Artists in Residence Exhibit features new artwork – including functional and sculptural ceramics and paintings – created by the artists during their residencies at the Mendocino Art Center. AIRs showing their work will be Grace Khalsa, Miles McCreary, Austyn Taylor, Nan Whitney, and Ceramics Coordinator Ian Hazard-Bill, a resident artist from 2018 to 2020.
The AIR program brings both emerging and established artists from across the country to this unique northern California region, providing creative space for artists to expand and explore their craft, collaborate and create new bodies of work.
Also showing in the Nichols Gallery, the Art Center highlights collage works by Mendocino heritage artist Dorr Bothwell (1902-2000) in the exhibition, “Rock, Paper, Scissors.”
