Down From the Sky - paintings and collages by Pamela Hahn
Pamela Hahn is exhibiting recent encaustic paintings and collages in her show “Down from the Sky” at Partners Gallery September 7 through October 9. In this body of work, Hahn began with the possibilities of her materials. She used her collection of encaustic scrapings that provided unexpected mixtures of color and texture as well as her stash of papers, printed matter and found objects. As the work progressed, themes evolved. She was introduced to a poem by Wendell Berry that begins, “I’ve come down from the sky…”. Those first words captured her imagination and resulted in the pieces titled “Down from the Sky” and “Blowing in the Wind.” During this time Hahn read about new excavations at Pompeii where she had experienced a memorable visit. She is deeply drawn to ancient cultures and artifacts. The collages, Remembering Pompeii, were inspired by having seen frescoes and walls that survived the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 A.D. Meet the artist Second Saturday, September 9, 5-7. The gallery is open Thursday through Monday. It is located at 45062 Ukiah St. Mendocino. www.partnersgallery.com

Ripcord
A sunny room on an upper floor is prime real estate in the Bristol Place Senior Living Facility, so when cantankerous Abby is forced to share her quarters with new-arrival Marilyn, she has no choice but to get rid of the infuriatingly chipper woman by any means necessary. A seemingly harmless bet between the old women quickly escalates into a dangerous game of one-upmanship that reveals not just the tenacity of these worthy opponents, but also deeper truths that each would rather remain hidden. Presented by the Mendocino Theatre Company.
Sean Hayes - benefit for MLT
The Inn at Newport Ranch is kicking off a concert series with a portion of the proceeds to benefit MLT. A light, ranch-style dinner will be served. Director Conrad Kramer will be present to speak briefly about MLT's current and upcoming projects. The concert features Sean Hayes, a Bay Area singer-songwriter. Hayes was born in New York City, raised in North Carolina, and honed his earliest musical chops in a band playing Irish and old-time tunes, but his unique style of deeply felt, R&B-inflected folk matured during his two decades singing and playing in cafes, bars, and night clubs of San Francisco. You can learn more about him on his website.
