About

Humboldt County, located in California's True North, is graced with magnificent natural beauty and an uncommon sense of community. Voted seventh in John Villani's "100 Best Art Towns in America" you can see why creative expression flows abundantly here, much like the many rivers that traverse the region. Humboldt is home to an extraordinary number and quality of painters, potters, writers, musicians, actors, dancers, poets and cultural historians. Imagine a place where most of your neighbors are artists.

As the central arts agency in Humboldt County and the designated State/Local Partner of the California Arts Council, the Humboldt Arts Council has the privilege of providing leadership, programs and services to enhance the presence and vitality of the arts in all our lives.
