Brief History: The Artists' Coop of Mendocino was established in June 1988 for the purpose of selling members' art. The first President was Warren Zimmer. The Co-op is owned and operated by the members, which number fifteen to twenty. Selected guest artists are featured periodically. The gallery was originally located on Main St. above the quilt shop, but moved to the present address in January 2016. We also maintain an online store which can be accessed from the menu at the top of the page. Joe Bernard is our Featured Artist for May at the Artists’ Co-op of Mendocino. His exhibit, “Windows of Spain” from May 3 through June 5, includes custom furniture created with heart. Bernard’s craftsman roots stem from his ancestral homeland, Cadiz, Spain.
