People's Choice Party: Mendocino Open Paint Out

The Mendocino Art Center hosts a People’s Choice Party, as part of the Mendocino Open Paint Out, offering the first opportunity to see all works created throughout the week and a chance for the public to vote for their favorite painting, while enjoying refreshments. Last year more than 300 works were painted during the week.

The Mendocino Open Paint Out, a plein air festival, includes 70 artists painting en plein air, with wet paint sales of new artwork each day in the Mendocino Art Center’s galleries, twice daily demonstrations by featured artists, the opportunity to watch artists paint outdoors, festive nightly social gatherings, a People’s Choice Party, a Quick Draw Competition and Sale, a celebratory awards ceremony, and a live jazz and brunch party. Admission to all activities is free and open to the public. Donations are requested at the demonstrations.
