Cobalt Gallery


Cobalt Gallery – Powered by Flockworks

A reimagined space where the legacy of artistic expression meets the dynamic vision of community collaboration. Our mission is to honor the rich history of Cobalt Gallery while aligning with Flockworks’ dedication to fostering creativity and resilience. Together, we are creating a vibrant community hub that amplifies visibility for artists, fosters new connections, and promotes artistic growth.

We aim to cultivate an inclusive environment where artistic expression flourishes, and all voices are heard. Through a dynamic calendar of exhibitions, events, and community engagement initiatives, we are strengthening the gallery’s impact on the local art scene.

Flockworks, a nonprofit organization dedicated to growing community resilience through creative programs, has long been a cornerstone of arts enrichment on the Mendocino coast. For over fifteen years, Flockworks has provided resources and opportunities for artists, teachers, and community members to engage in arts-inspired activities and initiatives, including the Fort Bragg Alleyway Art Project.

Art and The Explorers

OUR STORIES

Art & The Explorers

Welcome to Art Explorers, a nonprofit creative art studio for people with developmental disabilities and brain injuries. When the artists are here, they experience a sense of both purpose and camaraderie through making art in a community setting. It is a place that feels nurturing and comfortable and allows them space to just be themselves.

Local Tip:

The Gallery is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday. Look for a piece for yourself or to give as a gift.
Art pieces from Art Explorers are one of the most impactful gifts you can give because it gives so much back to the creator.

A variety of artwork and merchandise is for sale including original works on paper, painting and ceramics, original t-shirts, sweatshirts, jewelry, tote bags, cards and more. Proceeds are split 50/50 between the artist themselves and the organization. When a member of the public purchases their art at the gallery, the artists feel a sense of great pride. The self-esteem built through the Art Explorers program offers a pathway toward personal growth and inclusion into the wider community.

SHOP

We believe that art has the power to transform lives, and opens a window to the deepest expressions of the human spirit. Our philosophy is rooted in total respect for the individual and the core belief that all people have a unique artistic voice.
