Mendocino Eco Artists Art Show

Supporting this local environmental group is particularly significant this year as the Mendocino Land Trust is celebrating its 50th year of operation with events throughout the summer.

The Mendocino Eco Artists’ show at The Stanford Inn is open to the public and will continue through September. A portion of each art sale will be donated to MLT. The Stanford Inn has actively supported the arts along the Mendocino Coast and has hosted Mendocino Eco Artists several times. The shows are a natural fit with the Inn’s dedication to nature according to owners Joan and Jeff Stanford.

The Mendocino Land Trust has been dedicated to serving the area since its founding in 1976. There will be various celebratory activities for the public throughout the summer, including a special artists’ reception at The Stanford Inn at a future date.

The art works featured by Mendocino Eco Artists’ encompass various nature themes depicted in paintings and sculpture by member artists: Karen Camille Bowers, Mary-Ellen Campbell, Maeve Croghan, Eleanor Harvey, Julie Higgins, Debra Lennox, Deborah Nord, Trish Orchard, Paul Reiber and Bob Rhoades, along with guest artists Meredith Frederick and Jaqueline Cisper. Artists pledge to donate a minimum of 20% of the proceeds from their sales, and many donate 50 to 100%.

Mendocino Eco Artists group was established in 2011 by painter Maeve Croghan. Its members use their art to promote environmental conservation, restoration and public awareness. Not only do members showcase nature in their art but they share the proceeds from their art to support local nature preservation initiatives.
