46501 Gualala Rd., (707) 884-1138. Free.
Located off a back road, this extraordinary art gallery and center is well hidden in a grove of redwoods. The environment-friendly Gualala Arts Center;features high ceilings, tall windows with views of the redwoods, and slate floors. Inside, two main-floor galleries display changing shows; a clay studio is downstairs and an art library is upstairs. Outside, the nation’s only haiku trail—like its namesake poetry style, it is short and easy--leads past poems engraved into stones, and another trail leads to the river. Additionally, you’ll find a sculpture garden and a picnic area with pizza oven.
On the third weekend in August, the annual Art in the Redwoods festival—which has been happening since 1961--occurs to celebrate art, food, and gardens. Arts vendor booths, an outdoor stage, and picnics are part of the fun.
Things to do in Mendocino.
