Founded in 1966, The Humboldt Arts Council is committed to providing support and opportunities to the many painters, ceramists, writers, musicians, actors, dancers, poets, and cultural historians who live and work in Humboldt County.
In 2000, the Humboldt Arts Council opened the doors of the Morris Graves Museum of Art, Humboldt County's only art museum and home to hundreds of inspiring works of art, 7 galleries, a courtyard sculpture garden, the Humboldt Artists Gallery, museum store, classroom facilities, and performance rotunda.
