THE ROCK IS COMING. If you have been following the information on the website (on the "Special Events" page) about the John Fisher Project, you may have been wondering where the rock is. Well, wonder no more. Thanks to our intrepid Executive Director, Peggy Templer and Texas Quarries representative, Mike Prokop the rock will arrive at the Mendocino Art Center at 8:00a.m. on Thursday, July 5. Weighing in at a stunning 20,000 lbs, this baby needs some special handling so Bill Daniels will be on hand with his heavy load equipment that we will need to unload the rock and set it in place. John Fisher, the sculptor and David Russell, the coordinator of the sculpture department will be there to make sure it is placed in just the right spot and I plan to be there to shoot a few pics and just generally be part of the excitement. Join us if you can. If you would like to spend some time speaking with the artist, plan to attend our "Meet and Greet" on Friday, July 13 from 5:30p.m. to 7:30p.m. We might also get Peggy to tell the tale of the traveling rock. Much laughter to be had there. Goldeneye, a sponsor of the event, will be pouring their wonderful wines and we will have hors d'oeuvres. The cost is $10.00 and the money will go to the Art Center's Reconstruction fund.

I can hardly wait for the morning to see the block. This is going to be a great project and I encourage everyone to come see the creative process. Please feel free to ask any questions along the way.

The rock arrived! I pulled up to the Art Center a little before 9 am this morning and could see the rock just set in place. It's really quite a stunning piece of stone, even before it's been touched. You can see it as you approach the art center from Little Lake. It's just to the east of the theater. I met John and his wife, Sandy, this morning and shared a bit in the building excitement. Really, I think this is a very wonderful thing, not just for the Art Center, but for all of Mendocino. No doubt, Bill Zacha is smiling today, it strikes me as the kind of thing he would have loved.
