"The Astonishing Beauty of Marin" Virtual Art Gallery

Submitted by jlessard on Tue, 08/17/2021 - 1:00pm

The Community Media Center of Marin presents "The Astonishing Beauty of Marin," a virtual art gallery featuring works by Kathleen Goodwin on exhibit through August 31.

Goodwin’s oil paintings and watercolors of Marin are done both on location and in the studio. Her paintings have been exhibited at the Bolinas Museum, the Claudia Chapline Gallery, Gallery Route One, and Toby’s Feed Barn in Point Reyes. She is the author of “Point Reyes Visions” and co-author of “California Trip” and “Visions of Marin.” Goodwin was drawn to Marin County because of its wide-open spaces and wildlife, reminiscent of her native South Africa.

Santa Rosa council says media center too important to lose

Submitted by sam on Thu, 02/07/2013 - 2:56pm

Finding that the voice that the Community Media Center of the North Bay gives to the public is too important to risk losing, the Santa Rosa council on Tuesday rejected a plan to cut off its funding.

Instead, the City Council wants its staff to bring back a recommendation in a month on how the media center and the public access it provides might survive.

But is was also clear that the council didn't want the city of Santa Rosa, which provides more than 80 percent of the media center's funding, to continue to shoulder the load alone.

"Virtual Fiesta" Gallery Exhibit

Submitted by michael on Fri, 10/16/2020 - 3:47pm

The Community Media Center of Marin is proud to present its first virtual gallery exhibit, "Virtual Fiesta," which is intended to bring awareness to California Coastal Cleanup 2020.

Artists Richard Lang and Judith Selby Lang have rambled the tideline of Kehoe Beach, Point Reyes National Seashore for more than 20 years.  After hundreds of visits along 1000 meters, they have gathered plastic debris washing out of the Pacific Ocean and collected more than two tons of material.

By “curating” these pieces of plastic, the collaborative team has fashioned it into works of art that matter-of-factly represent, with minimal artifice, the material as it is. The viewer is often surprised that this colorful stuff is the thermoplastic junk of our throwaway culture.
