The Mendocino Sister Cities Association (MSCA) and the
Miasa-Omachi Sister Cities Associatiion (MOSCA) are delighted to present an art exhibit by artist’s from
Miasa-Omachi that will be displayed in the Mendocino Art Center, (MAC) Mendocino, CA during the month of May 2012.
The Artists Reception will be held on Second Saturday, May 12, 2012.
The history of the association between the Art Center and the Sister
City Association is a long one dating back to 1980 when Art Center
founder Bill Zacha and artist Toshi Yoshida formalized the sister city
relationship between Mendocino and Miasa. One of Bill and Toshi’s
intentions was to initiate and continue art exchanges between the sister
cities.
In early May, 2012 Miasa-Omachi will be sending a group of Artists for the 5th Annual Sister Cities Art Exchange Show. The first show will be held at the Mendocino Art Center from May 1 to May 30 as the MSCA/MAC Main Show and then the show moves to The Edgewater Art Gallery in Fort Bragg from June 1 thru June 30. The artists Reception at the Edgewater will be on First Friday, June 1, 2012.
Artists from the Miasa-Omachi area will be chosen to participate in the show and some of those artists will travel to Mendocino.
In 1992 Miasa and Mendocino started annual youth exchanges that have continued through the present day marking 20 years of consecutive annual student exchanges (the Mendocino group will visit again in early June, 2011), but the art exchanges never really materialized until May, 2008. With this 4th Annual Show, running through July 2011, to coincide with the Mendocino student exchange visit, our plan is to continue annual art exhibit exchanges coinciding with each town’s visit to the other’s town.
In late June of 2013 the MSCA will return to Miasa-Omachi with a group of Mendocino Middle School students and during that same two week period the 6th Annual Sister Cities Art Exchange Show will be happening in Miasa-Omachi for the participating Mendocino artists.
