TIme flies...

Sometimes TIME JUST FLIES...  How did we get here to MARCH 2014?   Time to catch up a bit!
Right now at Odd Fellows Hall, Plein Air Painters of Mendocino kicked off their annual exhibit as part of the Mendocino Coast Whale Festival... Weekends thru April 6 at the corner of Kasten & Ukiah Streets.

Odd Fellows in February had a rich and  lively show with the new blood in town...new Artists-in-Residence from the Mendocino Art Center and friends they've made in town.   ... 

The year at Odd Fellows includes FLOCKworks' Book Arts in May, Anderson Valley Artists in June,  Fine Furniture in July, Comptche Artists in August, Potluck Ceramics in September, FLOCKworks "Watershed" mixed media in October and Art Explorers in November...

Other FLOCKworks projects include Ft. Bragg Middle School 7th Grade AVID Class--artful explorations inspired by Wayne Theibaud, Ruth Asawa, Joseph Cornell and others.  Creative Outreach with teens with AmeriCorp member Diane Ruebin for the Mendocino Coast Clinic's Teen Clinic: WHAT DOES LOVE MEAN TO YOU? project at Ft Bragg High School engaged over 300 teens in one lunch hour session. Thanks to Redwood Parents Club, "A Place to Shine" Mural at Redwood School in Ft Bragg is done, with an all-school Mural planned for April.  A Children BOOK making project is about to kick-off with invitations out to Coast schools.  Earth Day at Noyo Food Forest will include another FLOCKworks open-participation mural adding to the fun!  FLOCKworks' Studio Group has been an open bi-weekly gathering of creativity since last fall!

All good, and so on we fly!
