Gates open 7:30 p.m.\, tour starts around 8 p.m. The evening will feature a special presentation about the Light Station’s history and technology\, sweet and savory snacks accompanied by champagne or sparkling juice\, capped off by a guided “Climb to the Top” tour of the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast under the rising full moon – if the weather cooperates\, of course! An etched Point Arena Lighthouse souvenir champagne flute is included in the price of admission for each participant\, which is $50 per person. Reservations must be made at least three days in advance of the tour. While the tour is scheduled to coordinate with the full moon\, weather conditions may preclude lunar visibility. The tours are conducted regardless of weather conditions\, unless the Lighthouse Staff deems them to potentially cause safety issues for the guests. In the event the tour is cancelled\, guests will receive a full refund. \nAccording to the Old Farmer’s Almanac in Native American and early Colonial times the Full Moon in March was called the Full Worm Moon. The ground begins to soften and earthworm casts reappear\, inviting the return of robins. This has also been called the Sap Moon\, as it marks the time when maple sap begins to flow and the annual tapping of maple trees begins. \nThe Lighthouse offers Full Moon and (almost) Full Moon Night Tours throughout the year on the Saturday closest to the full moon if it doesn’t fall on that day. Check our Calendar of Events at PointArenaLighthouse.com/visit for dates and times of all Lighthouse events. For more information or to make a reservation\, call the Lighthouse at 707-882-2809\, ext. 1 at least three days prior to date of the tour.

Join the members of the Coast Highway Art Collective in Point Arena for a celebratory opening reception of this fun and free-form event on Saturday\, April 20 from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. The Collective is hosting music and new works by its members. Although the opening is set to coincide with Almost Fringe Festivals around the globe\, the exhibit will be available for viewing at CHAC from April 6 to April 28.\nLoosely based on the International fringe art movement\, Mendocino County celebrates this as a month-long festival at several venues to celebrate all of the creative happenings countywide\, from traditional to cutting edge and artsy to agrarian.\nThe original Fringe Festival is held annually in Edinburgh\, Scotland. It is the largest art festival in the world. This festival spans 25 days and includes events in 294 venues in the following categories theatre\, comedy\, dance\, physical theatre\, circus\, cabaret\, children’s shows\, musicals\, opera\, music\, spoken word\, exhibitions and events.\nLocally\, the festival is being promoted by the Point Arena Merchants Association. The goal of the festival is to have a culturally diverse festival that reflects the complexity of our amazing community. Local merchants and restaurants to will be participating to create a fun and engaging festival street scene.\nThe Coast Highway Art Collective is joining into the festivities with artists Valerie Hebert\, felt earrings; Cindy Morey\, photography; Linda Green\, ceramics and painting\, Perry Hoffman\, photography and ceramics; Ling-Yen Jones\, jewelry; Rozann Grunig\, photography and greeting cards; Elizabeth Solomon\, fabric art and drawings; Sarah Alice Britton\, jewelry; Katy Balthazar\, chainmail dresses; Geraldine LiaBraaten\, photography and Hal Fogel\, photography. Other collective members will also have new and interesting pieces on exhibit in the spirit of the festival theme.\n“Almost Fringe is my favorite event each year\,” says collective member Rozann Grunig. The object is to create art that comes from the heart and the mind\, regardless of the commercial value. As artists\, we spend too much time assessing if a piece we are creating will sell. The pieces we envision for Almost Fringe are for fun\, relevance\, emotions and the sheer joy of creating.”\nLive music is provided by Bard of a Feather from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Meet the artists and learn more about Almost Fringe and the collective during the opening reception.\nThe Coast Highway Art Collective is located at 284 Main St.\, Point Arena\, the little red building with the big yellow sun\, located next to the Redwood Coast Credit Union. Regular hours are Thursday through Saturday\, 11 am to 4 pm. and Sundays by appointment. Visit the website at www.coast-highway-artists.com for information about the collective’s artists\, upcoming events and how to join.

By absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen\, trees help prevent global warming and climate change and provide the atmosphere that makes life on Earth possible. \nRainforests being clear cut purely for profit and the loss of old growth redwoods right here in California due to greed or wildfires caused by climate change saddens me. I wanted to express my emotional reaction to these issues visually with my photography so I experimented by manipulating colors in photos to show trees as voids and/or presenting them upside down with their crowns appearing as roots. But there is a caveat that I write about in my closing paragraph. \nThe resulting photos are somewhat strange but seductively beautiful to draw people in to take a closer look and question “What is going on here” They are meant to appeal to viewers on a subliminal emotional level and entice them to learn more about my photos and thus learn more about the importance of trees and the threat to life on Earth from deforestation. \nTo further emphasize the enormity of the loss of trees and to convey a sense of being in a forest\, I present photos large-scale on heavily textured fabric 6 feet x 3 ½ feet either vertical or horizontal to appeal to all kinds of people to look more closely at them in this unusual format for photography. They are not just for people who are interested in photography who go to museums and galleries. I want this project to be able to be exhibited in other public spaces where they can be seen by everyday people in everyday situations so more people can experience them. \nBut\, for a more conventional presentation but not completely traditional\, I present photos on metallic photo paper. The metallic photo paper accentuates the light values in the images so they have an eerie glow\, also drawing people in to take a closer look. These strangely beautiful images are meant to open hearts and minds. \nI want beauty to be the vehicle that draws people in to learn more about these issues. I don’t want to dwell on the negativity of loss. I want my work to show that life can return to forests after devastation and that there is hope for the future if we act proactively now. So\, instead of looking at the light trunks as voids\, I hope to change perceptions to see them as glowing hope for the future. It’s my goal to use my strange photography presented in unconventional ways to draw attention to these important issues confronting humankind as well as to present exceptional art accessible and understandable by all.” URL:https://www.visitmendocino.com/event/if-we-could-hear-trees-talk/ LOCATION:Gualala Arts Center\, 46501 Old State Hwy\, Gualala\, CA\, 95445 CATEGORIES:Arts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.visitmendocino.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/jpg.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Gualala Arts":MAILTO:info@gualalaarts.org GEO:38.765485;-123.518858 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gualala Arts Center 46501 Old State Hwy Gualala CA 95445;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=46501 Old State Hwy:geo:-123.518858,38.765485 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240412T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240506T160000 DTSTAMP:20240318T180500 CREATED:20240318T170104Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240318T170104Z UID:10017945-1712919600-1715011200@www.visitmendocino.com SUMMARY:You Made That with Plastic? Turning Trash into Treasures DESCRIPTION:You Made That with Plastic? Turning Trash into Treasures \nIn the 1967 rom-com The Graduate\, Benjamin Braddock (Dustin Hoffman) is urged during his graduation party to join a business dealing in plastics. But no one appears even vaguely aware of the disasters this “material of the future” will wreak on the planet. We\, in that very future\, are only too conscious of the unintended consequences that plastics have caused. Because artists have the capacity to raise awareness about such issues and transform garbage into art work\, this exhibit will provoke\, amuse\, educate\, and inspire us to rethink our own consumption habits. \nThe artists invited to show in this exhibit have created interesting\, playful\, beautiful\, and powerful objects by upcycling plastic found on our beaches as well as in our homes and workplaces\, restaurants and cafés. Their creativity will demonstrate what’s possible when we make the effort to keep plastic off our streets and roads and out of waterways and oceans\, garbage cans and landfills. \nParticipating artists: \nCurators: Paula Haymond & Mirka Knaster\nJerry Barrish\nDonnaLynn Chase\nBeth Hartmann\nPerry Hoffman\nJennie Henderson\nMarilyn Green\nAlex Friedman\nSharon Nickodem\nJudith Selby-Lang and Richard Lang\nKen Kalman and Robin Bernstein\nDeborah Corsini\nPhyllis Thelen\nTess Felix\nJuline Bieri\nRuth Tabancay URL:https://www.visitmendocino.com/event/you-made-that-with-plastic-turning-trash-into-treasures/ LOCATION:Gualala Arts Center\, 46501 Old State Hwy\, Gualala\, CA\, 95445 ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.visitmendocino.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Bleached-by-Ruth-Tabancay.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Gualala Arts":MAILTO:info@gualalaarts.org GEO:38.765485;-123.518858 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Gualala Arts Center 46501 Old State Hwy Gualala CA 95445;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=46501 Old State Hwy:geo:-123.518858,38.765485 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240413T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20240413T140000 DTSTAMP:20240318T180500 CREATED:20240304T233211Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240304T233211Z UID:10017840-1713002400-1713016800@www.visitmendocino.com SUMMARY:RESDA Sheep Dog Expo DESCRIPTION:At Pennyroyal Farm’s front pasture\, the estate’s Border Collie dogs\, handlers\, and other members of the Redwood Empire Sheep Dog Association will be exhibiting their sheep herding skills.
