The Mendocino College Art Gallery proudly presents

The Annual Juried Student Show!

Please join us for our largest and most popular exhibition of the year!  Mendocino College students have been working hard in and outside of class producing a wide range of artwork including ceramics, sculpture, photography, painting, printmaking, drawing, textiles, mixed media and woodworking.

Students from all the College campuses, the Krenov School and dual enrollment High School programs were invited to enter up to three pieces of their artwork for consideration in this juried event.    This process is an educational one for students and is particularly useful for those who want to go on to exhibit their work in galleries or are building a portfolio for transfer to a four-year university.  This year we are exhibiting close to 200 artworks.  Much of the artwork is for sale and all proceeds go to the student artist.

The exhibit runs from March 23 through April 27, 2023, with a closing reception on Thursday April 27th from 4-6pm. Come celebrate the artists with this festive event including an open life drawing session outside the gallery featuring students from the colleges dance program as costumed models.  No experience necessary and all supplies provided!

We will also be open to ticket holders attending the musical “Once” at the Mendocino College Center Theater, March 23, 2023 - April 2, 2023
