We are also featuring the work of sculptor and installation artist Natasha Dikareva in our window through July. Dikareva's influences range from ancient Greek mythology to Eastern philosophies of spiritual transformation. They are truly inspiring. 

This September  32 ACCI artist members' and guest artists' works travel with me to Corsica, France for our organization's first international exhibition. "Connexions: California ~ Corsica" includes fiber and works on paper and will be shown at the Casa Agostino Giafferri in Poggio-di-Venaco, September 6 - 25.

CALL TO ARTISTS

* The Arts Council of Mendocino County and the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens are preparing to present a third annual exhibition of sculpture on the grounds of the Botanical Gardens. Visitors are able to view and enjoy the artwork in an intimate, natural setting, connected by meandering paths and quiet walkways. The next unveiling of the sculpture in the gardens will be June 4, 2011, and will feature a rotating collection of artwork for sale. Deadline: March 15, 2011. To download the Call to Artists and Sculpture Gallery Application Form, go www.artsmendocino.org.

* Axis Gallery in Sacramento is sending out a call for entries for its 6th National Juried Exhibition, which will open in August. Entry deadline is May 28, 2011. The Juror is Dena Beard of the Berkeley Art Museum and the space, itself, is next door to the Arts Commission gallery so there's lots of cross pollination on opening nights. They are especially looking for sculpture, but I don't think the space could hold many installations. Go to the Axis website: www.axisgallery.org.

Works Gallery, San Jose and Disjecta Gallery, Portland

Please visit our new website at www.pacrimsculptors.org.

Works Gallery, San Jose and Disjecta Gallery, Portland: Ama Torrance, Peter Hiers, and Pam Dernham are going to submit proposals for Pac Rim to have exhibits at Works/San Jose Gallery and at Disjecta Gallery in Portland. Works Gallery has a great space and would give our group more exposure in the South Bay. Disjecta is a contemporary arts organization in Portland that provides studios, resources, and exhibition space for all disciplines of the arts community. It is one of the organizations that started Portland's Modern Zoo, which is a huge summertime festival that draws in galleries, open studios, performance events, everything.  Taking our work to new places is great for us as artists and is not a bad resume thing, either.  If you would like to be part of the discussion for these exhibits, please contact Ama ( amadavid @ comcast . net), Peter (peterhiers @  att . net), or Pam (Pdernham @ pac bell  .net).
