THE BUILDING AS CANVAS
About the mural
The new mural on west and south facing corners of our building, at McPherson & E. Redwood Ave., is a community sponsored project initiated by the Redwood Forest Foundation, Inc. (RFFI) and realized through the generous dedication of the Alleyway Art Project, who brought together an array funding. We also thank the Arts Council of Mendocino as fiscal sponsors, The City of Fort Bragg and other local donors.
The Forrester Building, (named after Cynthia’s grandparents), has become the backdrop for this wonderful depiction of a thriving forest by local artist, Ryan Grossman. As owners of this building and cheerleaders for the growing artist community in Fort Bragg, we are honored to be selected for this mural, not just for the beauty of it’s design, but because the message it represents. It speaks directly to RFFI’s mission to restore the natural diversity and wellbeing of our local ecosystems and our own vision of community as a ecosystem itself that thrives on interconnection.

We’ll be hosting a panel discussion on Sunday, Oct. 23rd, where you can learn more about what organizations are doing locally to benefit the environment.
Public art is transformational. The impact of this mural is already being felt in our neighborhood as folks have stopped by to appreciate the work-in-progress. It’s a dream coming true to see others engage through art in ways that create more meaning for all.
