THE ART OF WONDER
MAY 23 THROUGH OCTOBER 19, 2025
In this new exhibition organized by the Grace Hudson Museum, we present artworks in diverse media, authored by fifteen contemporary Mendocino County artists, that evoke a sense of wonder. The wonder could emanate from the subject matter or by the style or approach by which it’s rendered. It may also be caused by an unusual treatment of materials, leading one to ask, ”how did the artist do that?” Viewers will find art that may connect one to a place of spirituality, to the rhythms of nature, or to pondering the particles and energy that comprise the building blocks of our universe. Some of the art may stimulate in the viewer a fleeting moment of clarity around the mysteries of life, love, and other deep emotions, maybe even to a stronger appreciation for our shared humanity.

The Art of Wonder
What is “wonder”? How should it be understood? According to one dictionary it is, “a feeling of surprise mingled with admiration, caused by something beautiful, unexpected, unfamiliar, or inexplicable.” Other words associated with wonder are grand, powerful, sublime, and awe.
