Festival Artists Recognized

Anytime the word “contest” is used, there, of course, is an underlying thought that someone will win, someone will lose.

Everyone who submitted a work to our Call To Artists contest is a winner regardless of whether you received an award. Thank you for being part of this amazing exhibit. It is diverse, powerful, heartfelt, and a true example of the collective power in our art community, not to mention a testament to the imagination and strength of our whole Humboldt County community.

The art will be on display through Saturday, Oct. 15 at our festival venue, Synapsis, 1675 Union St., Eureka, and then at Redwood Art Association, 603 F St., Eureka, Nov. 15-Dec. 12. A First Saturday Night Arts Alive reception for the artists and the public will be held Saturday, Dec. 3, from 6-9 p.m.
