ImPRESSED: Steam Festival Printmaking!

In preparation for the Roots 41st Annual Steam Festival the Museum will host two opportunities to design and begin carving your linoleum block.

Roots have generously supplied materials for the program. Supplies are limited and available first come, first served. • Block Carving Party – Friday August 25, 1– 4 p.m. • Willits Art Walk & Block Carving – Saturday September 2, 5:30 – 8:30 p.m.

During the Steam Festival on September 9 and 10, the Museum will host a Community Print Making station at Recreation Grove from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Carve your block and have it printed by the Roots of Motive Power using their Buffalo Steam Roller! With permission, the Museum will exhibit your entry in a pop-up community printmaking exhibit. Keep your eye out during the festival for guest artist Rik Olson who will be printing his annual 3×3 foot block!

The Museum will offer extended hours, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m and FREE admission Saturday and Sunday. We invite everyone to stop by to see our exhibit: ImPRESSED and be inspired by the works on display.

This event has been made possible by the generous donation of the Rotary Club of Willits, the Friends of the Mendocino County Museum, and Roots of Motive Power.
