The doors for the exhibit open on January 7 and run through January 29, Thursday to Sunday plus Martin Luther King, Jr. Monday January 16.

The Mendocino Dance Project is preparing three evening Dance Performances exploring Identity that will take viewers on an exciting exploration of movement, space and art through out the gallery. Each evening, up to 50 Guests will enjoy local wines and special appetizers as they are treated to this special experience. Tickets are $25 for performances on the evenings of Jan 20, 27 and 28. Tickets will be available at OddFellows, Twist in Mendocino and Harvest in Ft. Bragg. Proceeds will benefits creative arts in schools and community, with a special focus on at-risk youth.
Curator Janet Self talks about the theme: "Identity has a lovely, complex meaning. It invites us to consider things that make us unique, as well as things we share in common with others: singularity and commonality, the individual and the community; how we consider other factors of age, gender, ethnicity, economics, and more. It challenges us to think about Ourselves and ”Others”. My aim is to bring together creative works that can inspire and engage us in considering this idea of Identity."
"I AM" ... WRITERS CALL... To inspire and engage us in considering identity, the Mendocino Coast Writers’
Conference and Flockworks are co-sponsoring a literary art installation and open mic on
January 14th as part of Masks & Mirrors, a month-long celebration of creative work
exploring identity in the series Art@OddFellows, located at the corner of Kasten and
Ukiah Streets in Mendocino. We invite you to submit from one to two hundred words
on the subject, “I am.” Here's how to participate.
1 Write. Follow wherever the words “I am” take you: flash fiction, memoir, poetry, essay, manifesto, or just plain statement. As long as it’s less than two hundred words. You can use the frame on the front of this flyer, or bring your words on the substrate of your choice.
2 Bring your work—the real deal and a copy—to the Odd Fellows Hall, 45101 Ukiah Street, Mendocino on Saturday, January 14th between 4pm-5:30pm. Photographer Mimi Carroll will be there to take your portrait.
3 Watch as your writing with your photo become part of the “I am” wall—a literary art installation by Flockworks, created in real time.
4
Sign up to read your work at that evening’s Open Mic. (That’s what the second copy
is for!) Slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. For the shy among you, don’t worry: reading is optional.
5 Enjoy the rest of the exhibit at Odd Fellows and at other 2nd Saturday venues until Open Mic begins at 6pm.
The “I am” wall will remain on display as part of the Masks & Mirrors exhibit until Sunday, January 29th. This is your chance to take part in a fun, multidisciplinary artistic event that celebrates the diverse identities that make up our community.

Friends of Flockworks
Become a Friend of Flockworks... With your support, we will continue to mobilize space, talents, time, and resources to foster opportunities in arts and creativity for people of all ages in our community.
Dear Friends,
Flockworks was established ten years ago as an organizational frame to build community through creativity. Flockworks brought new vision and leadership for community art and creative initiatives. We have fostered visibility, vibrancy and inclusiveness to local arts through major exhibits and installations. We have engaged children and young people in vivid art experiences on the playground, in classrooms and other settings. And, through collaborations, we added a creative twist to important community issues and events. We’ve woven art into everyday experiences that bring us together and enrich us as a community.
And it has all been done with volunteer time and talents, minimal resources and an indefatigable willingness to say “yes” whenever someone has asked. In the past two years, we launched Noyo Printworks in Ft Bragg, began an art and science collaboration with Noyo Center for Marine Science and sharpened creative engagement of youth in our community plus continued Art@OddFellows, mural making and more...
As a new decade begins, we realize this creative work can’t rely solely on volunteer time. It is essential to ensure a strong sustainable core going forward. We need you to say “yes” to help continue Flockworks’ special creative contribution to our community.
As a Friend of Flockworks, your tax-deductible gift will help us continue to offer art exhibits, strengthen our new community print studio, engage youth, children and others in art-making and ensure creativity is infused into our community. A gift of any size will make a difference. Your gift to Flockworks can help continue to foster opportunities in arts and creativity open for people of all ages and backgrounds in our community. You can make a contribution here on our website. Or we love to get mail: Flockworks PO Box 1603 Mendocino, CA 95460
Let's dream and creatively work together!
