Tonight.

Five years ago, we started Medium Art Center with a simple idea: artists need a place to gather, create, show their work, and build community.

Tonight we’re celebrating five years of exhibitions, workshops, music, youth programs, late-night gallery installs, grant writing, moving pedestals, painting walls, solving problems, and making things up as we went along.

Join us for “There Will Be Cake,” a group exhibition featuring artwork by our board of directors. It’s the first time our leadership team has shown our own work together, and yes, there will be actual cake.

Friday, June 5
5 to 8 p.m.
Medium Art Center
110 S. School St., Ukiah

Free and open to everyone.

Come celebrate five years with us. We’d love to see you.

Comedic Improv & Creative Theater Series Comes to MEDIUM Art Center

Looking for an excuse to be a little ridiculous this summer?

The Society of Creative Silliness (SOCS) is bringing a seven-week comedic drama and improv series to MEDIUM Art Center, inviting participants to explore character creation, improvisation, storytelling, movement, accents, costumes, props, and all manner of creative mischief.

Inspired by the spirit of groups such as Monty Python, Saturday Night Live, and Improv Everywhere, the series encourages participants to embrace spontaneity, collaborate with fellow performers, and develop original comedic sketches and theatrical performances. Along the way, attendees will build confidence, stage presence, and a healthy appreciation for the absurd.

The series is open to adults ages 18–30 (or close enough), and welcomes all experience levels. Whether you’re a seasoned performer or simply curious about trying something new, organizers encourage participants to come to the first few sessions and see if it’s a good fit.

Thursdays, 6–7:30 p.m.
June 4 through July 30
MEDIUM Art Center

110 S. School Street, Ukiah
Suggested donation: $5–$10 per session.
Space is limited and preregistration is encouraged.

We are thrilled to have Bay Area Tintype provide a pop-up at Medium Art Center in Ukiah on Saturday, June 13th for tintype portraits.

They will be set up between 12:00-5:00PM. These tintypes will be taken outside with natural lighting, so if you have any bright light sensitivities, no strobe flashes this day.

Here's a direct link to book your session: https://www.bayareatintypes.com/portrait-bookings
You can see more of their work here as well
Booking link is also in their bio

A tintype is a photograph using a process developed in the 19th-century that captures the image on a thin, dark-enameled sheet of metal or iron. Because the metal is coated with light-sensitive chemicals and developed immediately, every tintype is a physical, one-of-a-kind original piece of art.

Pop on over all dressed for the Redwood Metal Fest to get your portrait!
(Medium will be having a table of goodies at RMF as well)

We are breaking down walls, coming out of isolation into celebration, because our worlds matter.

Looking to learn a fun new art skill? Stencils can be applied to a canvas, clothing, and more!

Stencil Making Workshop
with instructor Angel Garcia
$40.00

Register here:
https://www.mediumarts.org/.../art-for-all-stencil-making...

Supplies provided. Limited space available, registration suggested.

Description:

Join Angel for this stenciling workshop to learn how to apply stencils to various surfaces by using a variety of methods in designing, cutting, and application. You will learn techniques on how to apply custom stencils on fabrics, paper, and plexiglass. Our focus will be to create unique one of a kind works of art by using spray paint and acrylics as our medium. Participants will take home their own hand cut stencils as well as their original stenciled works of art. In addition, participants may bring your own article of clothing and you can apply your stencil to create your custom style.

Instructor:

Angel Garcia is a local visual artist and musician originally from Los Angeles. With native roots in central Mexico, Angel’s artistic journey, which spans over 30 years, includes live musical performances, incorporating handmade masks and body painting. He has not only dedicated his life to music as a composer and song writer, but also as a graphic designer, which inspired a unique stenciling style born out of his love for free-hand ink drawing. His intricate hand cut stencils are an extension of his passion to continue to explore his indigenous roots, evoking our ancient memory and promoting the understanding of the healing power of art and responsibility we hold as artists.

This project was funded by a grant from the Community Foundation of Mendocino County.

With the support of the Community Foundation Field-of-Interest Arts and Culture fund, Medium Art Center will hold a series of in-person workshops that will be held over Spring/Summer 2026 at our downtown location. Through hands-on art-making activities, participants will learn from workshop facilitators to tap into their creativity and learn the necessary skills to create art on their own.
