CALL FOR WINDOW INSTALLATION The Larry Spring Museum celebrates Larry Spring’s DIY Spirit of Amateur Inquiry as a means to open up his collection to new creative possibilities. We imagine the Museum as a constellation of art and science wonders where the community engages through collaborative action. In this spirit, we invite artists, makers, and other creative beings to submit a proposal for an installation in the Museum’s street-facing window. Your proposal should incorporate the use of found objects and artifacts and materials from the Larry Spring Museum’s collection and/or should be responsive to the Museum, its history, presence, and collections. We’re interested in proposals that conceptually explore one or more of the following topic areas: the visualization of math and/or physics, knowledge production through making, the secret life of found objects, electromagnetism, earthly and otherworldly treasures, and/or systems of arcane and esoteric knowledge. However, we hold wonder and surprise in esteem, so if you have a strong idea that falls outside those parameters, please share. We’re interested in asking questions we have yet to know. The Larry Spring Museum will pay up to $50 in material expenses plus a $100 honorarium to selected artists. Each installation will be displayed for four months. We ask that you share your process and insights virtually and to Museum visitors on-site during the installation process. Send a proposal (200 words max), a short statement introducing yourself, and examples of your work (5 images or a 2 min video), to director@larryspringmuseum.org Notes on the installation space: The window is south facing and has UV protection. The window itself is divided in half with a mullion and contains some text and graphics at mid-point. The left-hand window has the words Larry Spring hand-painted onto the glass in black and gold. The right-hand side has a graphic of a Magnesphere that is hand-painted in black and gold. The interior platform’s installation area is approximately 14 ft long x 3.6 ft wide. The window is approximately 6 ft tall with an additional 2 ft of wall space on top for rigging lighting and other installation elements.

Experienced Muralist Sought for Downtown Ukiah Mur...

Call for Artists ; Grants ; Jobs ; Opportunity

Posted: May 04, 2020

Looking for an experienced muralist for a downtown Ukiah mural. Within our firm budget constraints of $3500 we are hoping to see proposals for a scene that will cover the surface with broad strokes and large planes of color. More specifically, a trompe l’oeil format might be just what we are looking for, with a painted frame of some kind around a scene. For the subject matter, we are wanting to celebrate both our downtown community and the beauty of our natural surroundings. Zach Schat is the owner of the building where the mural will be, and his bakery is an iconic downtown treasure which should be included in some way. We like the idea of a scene that references the view that a person would see when walking down Perkins Street towards these surrounding hills. Style can be bold, somewhat abstracted and/or a simplified illustration. We are looking for loose strokes…or a spray can. The wall was primed and painted in 2018, so it does not need any preparatory treatment. The surface is a very rough and high-relief beige stucco, which will make application of paint with a brush a challenge. Please take this into consideration in your proposal. Photos of the wall’s texture available upon request. The last important thing that needs to be planned and painted into the mural is the Josiah Royce quote that was part of the original mural. Quote will be made available to the artist. The artist will be responsible for scaffold rental. We will try to get paint donated, and will also manage the city permit process. The timeline for job completion is by the end of the summer of 2020. Please email Laura Fogg: fogg.laura@gmail.com

Need an Art Studio? Here is One! (not open until f...

Posted: Feb 29, 2020

Note: Open Studios will not be open until further notice UKIAH, CA – The Mendocino Art Association (MCAA) in participation with the Ukiah Parks and Recreation offers an art studio open to all artists. Open Studio is every Monday morning from 9:30 am until 2:00 pm at the Grace Hudson Community Room, 431 South Main Street, Ukiah. The space has great light, other working artists, and a friendly atmosphere. The fee for MCAA members is $4.00 and non-members $5.00. For more information call Jim Denham at 707 272-3749. Open Studio is run on a “drop-in” basis, no need to register, just come for as long a time as you wish. There is no instructor. Bring your art materials and enjoy the inspiration and congeniality of painting with fellow artists. The studio has large windows letting in wonderful light, it is warm and spacious, and each artist can use a provided table and chair or bring your own standing easel. A drop cloth to protect the carpeted floor and a cover for the table are required. Also bring your lunch and enjoy the comradery of sharing a meal. Logistical questions can be addressed to Jim Denham by calling 707 272-3749. Space is limited to ages 18 and older. Open Studio has been open to everyone for many, many years and many of the regular artists have been participating with one another for many of those years and have a great fondness for the experience. Here are some of their comments about why they attend week after week. Jim Denham acts as host for the studio and has also painted in the space for years. A retired high school science teacher, he has been drawing since he was 5 when he concentrated his efforts on Disney Characters. He started using oils when his wife brought home a beginner’s kit. Jim says “I enjoy painting and I would not paint on a regular basis if we did not have Open Studio, I enjoy the company of fellow painters.” “Open Studio and the art that I create helps me to remember what makes me an original” commented Ginger O’Shea who paints in acrylics and has won numerous Fair Ribbons for her art. “Art has been therapy through many changes in my life; Open Studio gives me the space and comradery to indulge my need to create” says Catherine Lair who works in acrylics and has created large canvases. Catherine is currently working in watercolors and pen to create fantasy art of pastries which she will be showing at Schat’s Bakery in October. Valerie Peters worked in oils off and on throughout her life. She took an MCAA pastel workshop with instructor Clark Mitchell and is now concentrating on that medium in addition to using watercolor as a base for her pastels. Valerie imparts, “Open Studio is a great resource not only because it provides space to work but the supportive companionship of other artists. We have fun!” “The Monday morning painting group at Grace Hudson is a great group in which to share information, socialize, have lunch with and share ideas. I think I would quit painting if I didn’t have this group to join each Monday” says Jan Byland. Jan has won multiple awards from her entries in the local fair and has taken a series of classes with Adele Pruitt for many years. As can be seen, artists work in various mediums in Open Studio with space to create art in the warm company of fellow artists. Drop in and get a feel for the studio and its equipment and decide if it is right for you. You will be welcomed. The Mendocino County Art Association was established in 1954 and is the oldest art organization in the County. MCAA’s objective is to offer lectures, workshops, classes and art exhibits for the benefit of its members and the public at large. Members receive first option to attend workshops and Open Studio at reduced rates as well as opportunities to show their art in banks and galleries. Membership in MCAA is $35 a year, call 707 391-8469 to join or receive more information on the benefits of membership.
