Art donations from many well-known Mendocino artists will be on sale at Edgewater Gallery in October, net proceeds to benefit the Mendocino Art Center. Works from Dorr Bothwell, Jim Bertram, David Cross, Eleanor Harvey, Janis Porter, and others will be introduced at First Friday, Oct. 7, 5-8 p.m. The gallery is at 356 N. Main St. near Laurel.“Edgewater is proud to provide this opportunity to help MAC during this challenging economic time,” says Porter, a long-time member of the artist-owned gallery. “These outstanding artists have donated some excellent works that also will provide great value to buyers during this special exhibition.” Founded in 1959 by Bill and Jenny Zacha, the art center performed a pivotal role in building Mendocino Village into the internationally known art community it is today.
