Art museum exhibits virtual pop-up

-

In compliance with the California Public Health Department and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, The Museumof Northern California Art will be closed indefinite­ly to protect visitors and volunteers from COVID-19. The museum’s board of directorsw­ill reassess the situation and take the lead of health authoritie­s as to when to reopen.

After the Camp Fire, monca found art to be a healing agent, particular­ly during its children Summer’s Literacy Program. “Art in its many forms provided comfort, resilience, wisdom, and the means for self- expression and connection,” the board stated in a press release.

Before it was ever in its current location, monca was known for doing popup shows. It has now returned to that medium virtually.

Videos of its current exhibition, “Unbroken Legacies: Northern California Art Glass” are available at monca.org, monca’s Facebook, Instagrama­nd YouTube pages, and its newsletter.
