Humboldt Arts Council Annual Fund

Every year, the Humboldt Arts Council relies on the generosity of friends like you to support, through tax-deductible donations, the countless educational and outreach programs, including the Morris Graves Museum of Art that stimulate, inspire, and build community and connections.

As the final weeks of the year unfold, we at the Humboldt Arts Council and the Morris Graves Museum of Art are deeply grateful for your support. Because of you, the MGMA continues to be the vibrant, essential cultural cornerstone of Humboldt County, and the HAC continues to serve every corner of our county,
providing art and culture to all.

41,000 Reasons to Invest

This year has been one of tremendous momentum. Thanks to community supporters like you, the MGMA proudly welcomed over 41,000 visitors, offering vital access to art exhibitions, performances, and educational programs. Your generosity sustains this irreplaceable community asset.

Our 2026 Vision: Building on Success

To maximize this momentum and confidently plan for a robust 2026, we are focused on securing the necessary resources now. Your annual contribution is an investment that ensures our stability and immediately funds three key areas for the upcoming year:

• Enriching Education: Expanding free and low-cost programs, ensuring more local students and families receive hands-on learning experiences.

• Preserving Our Legacy: Providing essential maintenance for the historic MGMA building and its collections, protecting this landmark for future generations.

• Launching the 2026 Season: Securing the resources needed to present a high-quality, diverse, and engaging calendar of exhibitions and programming.

Join Us in Shaping 2026

We hope you will partner with us to shape a bright and transformative 2026. Please consider a gift to the HAC Annual Fund today.

Together in Art,
