Loved this little image done by a Montessori school student. So simple and striking, bold and colorful. I just love kid’s art! The local community college here is doing a lot more outreach to the community–booksignings, several all day college days open to the public, this small but wonderful art show of county wide kid’s art, and other offerings. I attended the Mendocino Coast Writer’s Conference at College of the Redwoods last summer. It was the first writer’s conference I had ever attended, and I was impressed. The community here is progressive, liberal, and offers a lot of interesting artistic possibilities considering its relatively small size. My favorite art gallery in Fort Bragg is Art at 3G.
Luz Harvey chooses fascinating shows with unusual artists ranging from conceptual art, modern painters like Taiji Arita, outsider art, and works from Art Explorers, an incredible organization in Fort Bragg that supports developmentally disabled artists as they produce their truly amazing work.
