The Artists’ Co-op of Mendocino is hosting the exhibit for EKPHRASIS VI, the sixth annual collaboration between the Co-op and the California Writers Club of the Mendocino Coast. 

Ekphrasis, which means art describing art, features 21 anonymously and randomly paired writers and visual artists (that’s 42 participants total). For 10 pairs, writers have responded to 2-D or 3-D visual art; and for the remaining 11 pairs, visual artists have responded to writings. Come to the Second Saturday reception October 14th (5-8pm) with brief Artists/Writers’ talks at 5:30. The Co-op gallery is located on the NW corner of Kasten and Albion Sts in Mendocino. For a quieter appreciation of the works, visit the gallery during open hours 10:30-5 daily. The exhibit is up Oct 4th through Nov 6. Participating authors will read their stories, accompanied by a slide show of the visual art, at the Mendocino Writers meeting, on Thursday October 19th at 6 PM in the Mendocino Hotel Garden Room. Public invited.
