Come see Jason Lehr's incredible talent in his exhibition Unreliable Narrator, in our Anderson Gallery until May 18th! His work creates shifting narratives of working-class male identity, fragments of text and familiar images in new context giving flashbulb glimpses of narrative action.

The museum celebrates its 25th year! #Humboldt County has a rich history of art, and Morris Graves a strong legacy of supporting the NorCal #art community. Is it any wonder so many residents have a penchant for nature photography with the beautiful #redwoods?

The second picture is by Kay Harden!

More than visual compositions, they are a dialogue between color, texture, & material, a manifestation of the delicate interplay between human existence & the natural world. Dana's work has been featured in 50+ juried museum exhibitions across the U.S. as well as numerous solo & invitational shows!
