Coast Highway Artists Collective

09/28/2026

Join the Coast Highway Art Collective for the opening reception of “Odds and Ends” on Saturday, October 24, from 3–7 pm.

The exhibition brings together the mixed-media work of Sarah Frivold, whose tactile pieces explore form, texture, and unexpected materials, with the photography of David L. Brix. In “The Majestic Dolomites of Italy,” David captures the dramatic peaks, changing light, and expansive landscapes of the Italian Dolomites.

Two distinct bodies of work—and two very different ways of looking at texture, place, and form.

The exhibition runs October 2–31 at the Coast Highway Art Collective, 284 Main St., Point Arena, California.

If you’re on the Mendocino Coast, stop in for the reception, meet the artists, and experience the work in person. 🖼️
