Shelley Gardner
Surface Tension
June 5 through July 13   

For Shelley Gardner, nature has remained an enduring source of artistic inspiration, especially the cyclical rhythms in the natural world. Her artwork attempts to mirror the slow cumulative processes of nature with multi-layered surfaces emulating the development of seed pods, the formation of crystals, and the sediment of a river bottom.

 

Humboldt State University Studio School
June 7 through July 28, Youth Gallery

This exhibition features one- and two-dimensional works by Studio School students from Humboldt State University and the Morris Graves Museum of Art.
Images of Water
July 5 through August 24

Celebrating 22 years of creative visions of water, this annual photography competition highlights the inspiring beauty of water.

Lisa Deloria Weinblatt
School Lunch: Narratives
July 17 through September 7  

A figurative painter whose imagery is informed through personal experience, imagination and direct observation, Lisa Deloria Weinblatt’s large-scale work in the School Lunch series is a pictorial essay of contemporary student life. Cross-cultural issues and their emotional attitudes are explored in the shared experience of school lunch, generated from direct observation on location at New York City High Schools.

Tamara Hubbard
Urban Abstracts
July 24 through September 7

Tamara Hubbard’s visual and philosophical curiosity of commonly overlooked, mundane details in the urban environment has inspired her recent series, Urban Abstracts.  This photographic study is a limited-edition series of black and white photographs printed on sheets of aluminum.  Visually influenced by the Abstract Expressionist Movement, this series was conceptually developed to explore perceptual peculiarities through contextual reduction and to challenge a redefinition of environmental familiarity and aesthetic expectation typically associated with the photographic medium. 
  Art in Motion
June-Morris Graves Museum of Art, Rotunda Gallery
July through October, various locations throughout Old Town Eureka
November-Morris Graves Museum of Art, Rotunda Gallery

Similar to the Cow Parade in New York, Art in Motion is an exhibition and art walk to unite local artists, local businesses and the Humboldt Arts Council in showcasing the vast artistic talent within Humboldt County. Stop by the MGMA in June to view these unique one-of-a-kind artist mannequins and then from July to October pick up a walking brochure and explore these sculptures in our local businesses throughout Old Town Eureka. The sculptures will return to the MGMA in November for a final exhibition in the Rotunda Gallery, and on Wednesday, December 10th they will be part of a silent auction during our “Mannequin Masquerade,” with all proceeds benefiting the many programs of the Humboldt Arts Council.
