Welcome to the 37th Annual Mendocino Art Auction
“Supporting Youth and Community”
July 12, 2008

For 37 years, the work of nationally recognized Mendocino Coast Artists, such as E. John Robinson, Gerald Stinski, Erin Dertner, David Jenks, George A. Rohrer, John and Debbie Turnbull and Patrica Osbourne has been auctioned off in support of local youth and community organizations. Sponsored by the Rotary Club of Mendocino, this year’s auction features over 60 works of Art and includes fine art, sculpture and photography.

The Mendocino Art Auction is the Rotary Club of Mendocino‘s principal fundraising event. Mendocino Rotary has proven for 37 years that “Art Can Make a Difference” in supporting youth and community. The proceeds from the auction and the sale of raffle tickets are returned to the communities of the North Coast as a variety of grants and scholarships. Deserving students receive help with their college tuition, and we sponsor both incoming and outgoing exchange students. Grants are also awarded to a variety of local non-profit organizations working in the areas of youth, health, safety and cultural enrichment. A major role of Rotary is to give back to the community.

The Mendocino Rotary Club, sponsor of the Mendocino Art Auction, is also a sponsor of the Mendocino Summer Arts Showcase. The Arts Showcase is a cooperative venture of Rotary, the Mendocino Music Festival, the Mendocino Art Center, the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens, the Gloriana Musical Theatre, and WineSong!.

Art does make a difference!
