Mendocino Flavors

Our local Mendocino County Museum in Willits is calling all food enthusiasts and artists (young, old, and in between!) to submit an original piece of art to the museum for an exhibit entitled “Mendocino Flavors.”

Perhaps you are a local gardener and would like to showcase your homegrown veggies through art. Perhaps you are a farmer or forager who would like to share your knowledge about local food. Maybe you love to eat at a certain restaurant in Mendocino County and are inspired by their food to create some art. Perhaps your traditional family meals reflect the foods of Mendocino County.

Be creative! Your impressions and artistic creations, focused on the foods and flavors of Mendocino County, are what the museum would like to see.

The students at Ukiah's Tree of Life Charter School are working on watercolors of their favorite foods! Perhaps painting sounds fun... OR Do you like photographing food or maybe drawing with pastels? How about putting together a collage or mosaic? Any two-dimensional medium will be welcomed.
