ART WALK UKIAH
My Tong: Fossil Works in Ceramic – Art in the Anthropocene Age
Friday, May 1, 2026, from 5 to 7 PM

The Ukiah Branch Library invites the community to join us for our Art Walk openings on Friday, May 1 and Friday, June 5 from 5 to 7 p.m. The library will feature a ceramic show by local artist, My Tong.

Tong gets inspiration from looking at fossils of animals and plants from long ago. She sculpts creatures that could have existed, fusing them with human-made objects from the Anthropocene Age, our current era in which humanity has become a planetary force of change. Tong’s work becomes her own interpretive record of the interdependence between living beings and their environment.

On May 1, the branch will host live music by Deanne California and a Pinch Pot Workshop hosted by The Clay Pot Studio, a new ceramics studio that’s coming soon to Ukiah. On June 5, the branch will host live music by Equinox. During both Art Walk openings, guests can shop the robust book sale, hosted by the Ukiah Valley Friends of the Library. This art exhibition is free to the public, open to all ages, and is sponsored by the kind and generous support of the Ukiah Valley Friends of the Library and Mendocino County Library.

The exhibit runs May 1 to June 26, 2026. For more information, please visit www.mendolibrary.org or contact the Ukiah Branch at (707) 463-4490.
