As the State-Local Partner to the California Arts Council, the Humboldt Arts Council is dedicated to providing leadership in support of the rich heritage of North Coast Arts and to bring this legacy fully into community life. The HAC is the central arts agency in Humboldt County and we aim to provide art to all populations in our community through our many programs, exhibitions and outreach.

The HAC continues to expand and provide Art Education Programs at the Morris Graves Museum of Art and in our local schools. Our Second Saturday Family Arts Days, Art Banks Traveling Exhibition and Outreach Program, Gallery Activity Packs, Art Talk Sundays and KEET’s Kids Club at the MGMA continue to be extremely successful and well received by the community. The outcome of these programs is to bring the arts increasingly into the lives of our local community and to develop the capacity of the Humboldt Arts Council to foster and build a current and future population of arts supporters.

We look forward to seeing you at Applebee’s on Tuesday, May 22^nd.
