Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens invites artists (open to all art mediums) to submit an application to exhibit their original work at the 28th Art in the Gardens held on Saturday, August 1 from 11AM to 5PM. This celebration of creative expression, gorgeous gardens, music, beer, wine, and food attracts as many as 1,500 visitors each year. Applications for this juried art event will be accepted now through March 13, 2020. Jurying will take place following the deadline, and we will send notifications by mid-April.

Artist booths are framed by our 47 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens providing a unique and natural setting to display and sell art. Displaying your work amongst the summertime blooms of the Gardens is just one of the perks of participating in Art in the Gardens. Additionally, Gardens staff and volunteers are available to assist you in setting up and taking down your display and provide relief at your booth any time you need a break. Additionally, Friends of the Gardens provides a complimentary breakfast the morning of the event. Don’t miss this ideal opportunity to meet new clientele!

There is a non-refundable jury fee of $30 (no booth fee). If selected, each artist will be required to turn in a 25% commission to the Gardens at the end of the event (5:00PM; 8/1/20). The commission will directly benefit the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and our mission to engage and enrich lives by displaying and conserving plants in harmony with our Northern California coastal ecosystems. All artists will be responsible for handling their own sales. PLEASE NOTE: Some areas of the Gardens have little or no Wi-Fi/cellular service. Please be prepared to handle sales offline. The Gardens cannot handle transactions for artists.

To be considered in the jury process please complete and submit the application by March 13, 2020.
