CHAC Joins the Almost Fringe Festival
The unusual, the bizarre, just a bit whacky, maybe even shocking – that’s what the Almost Fringe Festival is all about. Loosely based on the International fringe art movement, Mendocino County celebrates this as a month-long festival at several venues to celebrate all of the creative happenings countywide, from traditional to cutting edge and artsy to agrarian.
The Coast Highway Art Collective is joining into the festivities with artists Paula Rie Bonham, handmade greeting cards; James Docker, wood wall art; Linda Green, ceramics; Jeannie Haydon, metal wall sculpture; Perry Hoffman, ceramic and photography; Emma Hurley, ceramics & clothing; Ling-Yen Jones, jewelry; Kirk McCarthy, jewelry; Jacqueline Mooney, Wild Fire Fusion, Glass; Cindy Morey, photography; Shawn Quinlan, quilts; Siobhan, silk scarves; Neno Villamor, paper clay cards; Carol Williams, sculpture and jewelry. Other collective members will also have new and interesting pieces on exhibit in the spirit of the festival theme.
Live music is provided by Black Sugar Rose from 12 to 2 p.m. and Bard of a Feather from 2 to 4 p.m. Meet the artists and learn more about Almost Fringe and the collective during the opening reception.
