In the 1970’s & 80’s, the spiritual, questing exodus of people seeking something other than the status quo created a unique constellation of talent and energy in Mendocino County. Lenny Laks, Bobby Markels, Antonia Lamb, Bonnie Sanger, Chester Anderson were among those artists in an extraordinary place, in an extraordinary time. This is some of their work.
