Art Festivals, Markets and Fairs
There is nothing better than sharing the story of a piece of wood in person. While MendoMadrone is a personal passion, not a large production, we love bringing our work to a few special events throughout the year.
Our work is a direct reflection of our Mendocino property—each bowl and vessel is unique, turned from locally salvaged wood. This means our inventory is always limited, making each show a distinct and special occasion.
We enjoy a mix of prestigious juried art festivals and beloved local events where we can connect with our community. We are honored to have been a part of: Palo Alto Festival of the Arts, Gualala Art in the Redwoods, Salem Arts Festival (OR), Paso Robles Art in the Park, Bodega Seafood, Art & Wine Festival, Art in the Gardens (Mendocino) and the Healdsburg's Craft & Christmas Markets.
For 2026, we’re participating in the following events:
Los Altos Arts & Wine Festival (planned)
The 31th year of Art in the Gardens at the beautiful Mendocino Botanical Gardens in Fort Bragg, California.
Mendocino Botanical Garden’s
The 32th year of Art in the Gardens at the beautiful Mendocino Botanical Gardens in Fort Bragg, California.
Gualala Arts - Art in the Redwoods
Art in the Redwoods is a prominent annual fine art exhibition and festival hosted by Gualala Arts on the Northern California coast, typically held over the third weekend in August. The event features a juried art exhibit with over 300 works, an outdoor vendor fair, live entertainment, and various community-focused events, including a quilt raffle to support local arts.
Palo Alto Festival of the Arts (planned)
Well-known for showcasing high quality art, Palo Alto’s Festival of the Arts celebrates its 42nd anniversary. Over sixty-thousand patrons who appreciate the festival’s excellence visit this open-air gallery each year. Art lovers stroll along tree-lined University Avenue, browsing fine arts and fine crafts booths, interacting with the artists and shopping the stunning selections from over 250 talented, creative minds.
62nd Annual Kings Mountain Art Fair
We are thrilled to be attending the Kings Moutain Art Fair for the first time! To celebrate our debut, we are bringing a special collection of Madrone wood turnings, a species prized for its incredibly dense grain and "marble-like" finish.
Often called the "Arbutus" of the West Coast, Madrone is notoriously difficult to work with due to its high moisture content and tendency to warp. However, when expertly turned and seasoned, it reveals a stunning range of colors—from creamy pinks to deep burnt oranges. Stop by our booth to see how we’ve transformed this challenging, beautiful California hardwood into one-of-a-kind bowls and vessels that are as smooth as stone.
Healdsburg Craft & Farmer’s Market
MendoMadrone participates in this years Healdsburg Tree Lighting Ceremony and Market (December 5th) as well as in selective Saturday’s Craft Markets (November 22nd and December 20th).
Festival of Trees
Once again, finding unique gifts for friends and family is easier than ever during Festival of Trees as local artisans bring their special arts and crafts to Gualala Arts.
Paso Robles Art in the Park
Over 130 independent artists and craft makers showcase their work at the Downtown City Park in Paso Robles.
