THE HUMBOLDT ARTS COUNCIL
As the State-Local Partner to the California Arts Council, one of the Humboldt Arts Council’s highest priorities is to promote the arts throughout our county. In this year’s Palette Maga-
zine we are pleased to have the opportunity to feature the pub-lic art throughout the beautiful North Coast. Inside you will fi nd a comprehensive guide to our local murals, public sculpture as well as galleries, museums and art businesses. As featured on the cover, the Romano Gabriel Sculpture Garden is a local artistic treasure, and the HAC is thrilled at the opportunity to promote, protect and preserve one of the fi nest public art pieces in the United States.
The generous gift of the folk art garden aligns with the mission of the HAC, to collect, preserve and promote the arts of the North Coast and to bring it fully into daily life. In the near future the HAC plans to clean and conserve the work on view in the garden as well as install preventative conservation methods such as UV fi lm on the windows to reduce light exposure and fading over time. Also keep an eye out for updates with the signage and didactic text as well as new landscaping around the garden. The HAC’s long-ago used slogan “Art Grows Here” is the perfect fi t for promoting the Garden, making it a destination for all visitors to the North Coast.
It is said that Italian immigrant and folk artist Romano Gabriel once expressed Eureka, California was “a bad place for fl owers”. As a carpenter and gardener with strong connections to his homeland, culture and various social and political issues, Gabriel viewed the front lawn of his home on Pine Street in Eureka with a distinct and unique vision; He saw this traditionally des-ignated space for pleas-antries such as fl owers as an environment not only serving as a greeting area for the eyes of passerbys of his home, but also as a space to display art ob-jects exposing the inner workings of his imagina-tive and personal world which he did not care to share with most individu-als by conventional means. Gabriel found that forgoing a typical so-cial life and living a largely introverted lifestyle as benefi cial to his craft, providing him with solitude and concentration for his art mak-ing. The resulting three decades of devotion to his creative vision is a fantastical collection of hundreds of wooden human and animal fi gures within a highly complex and ornate sculptural environment, now known as the Sculpture Garden of Romano Gabriel.
Gabriel’s beginnings in the United States date back to 1913 at the age of 26, when the artist left his homeland of Mura, Italy and headed to America in search of a new life and opportunities. After serving in World War II, Gabriel settled in Eureka, California on Pine
Street in a home which he had built himself. He lived what neighbors and community members characterized as a largely introverted life, working as a carpenter and gardener, but keeping mostly to himself. At the age of 50, Gabriel felt compelled to create sculptural forms
out of wooden veg-etable crates to fi ll the void not only on his lawn, but also in himself, resulting from his increasing dissatisfaction in liv-ing what most would call an “ordinary” or “normal” life as pre-scribed by American social scripts and ideals. Gabriel har-nessed his knowl-edge of hand tools from furniture and house construction with his creative en-ergy in fi lling his 30 ft. by 60 ft. front lawn with his creation of a multitude of brightly painted sculptural fi gures and forms out of wooden crate
materials, some purely decorative, others as commentary on social or political issues.
Gabriel’s work is distinguishable both by its quantity and qual-ity, not to mention his persistent dedication to his craft. At the age of 80, the artist put the fi nal touches to his work, and by this time the sculptural garden had become a tourist attraction, garnering national and international attention. In 1967, the artist passed away and the California Arts Council immediately designated the sculp-tural garden as an important piece of folk art. The Romano Gabriel Sculpture Garden in its current preserved state at 315 Second Street in Old Town Eureka.
The Eureka Heritage Society offi cially transferred ownership of the world-renowned Romano Gabriel Sculpture Garden to the Humboldt Arts Council during a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Nov. 3, 2012 during First Saturday Night Arts Alive!.
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.

Serving the North Coast for 92 Years
Eureka is at the heart of our beautiful artists’ community on the North Coast. With Humboldt County boasting more artists per capita than anywhere in California, the region is
home to writers, visual artists, musicians, actors, dancers and film-makers. Many have garnered national and international acclaim for their talent and work. Artists find the North Coast naturally supports their creative pursuits by providing a backdrop of un-touched landscapes, a colorful, enthusiastic population and the slow pace of life that only a rural environment can offer.
Named one of the top small art towns in John Villani’s book The 100 Best Small Art Towns in America, Eureka is an exciting place
for any art lover. With the amazing sup-port the town offers to local artists, there is an abundance of art—be it outdoors in the form of murals, or the array of abstract sculptures in the Old Town and Downtown areas. The many beautifully restored Victori-an-style buildings with their ornate decora-tions and historic styling adds to the beauty. There are also many galleries displaying pieces from local painters, potters, sculptors and photographers.
For those who love to not only see art, but to have a chance to meet artists, and share and discuss art with other people who share the same passion, Eureka offers “First Saturday Night Arts Alive!” in Downtown
and Old Town. This is an art walk put on in cooperation with down-town businesses. Most businesses keep later hours for this event, and the result is a lively mix of artists, art lovers and fun for the whole family.
Eureka is a place you can enjoy wine tasting, ballet, the sympho-ny, music, galleries and much more. The surrounding natural beauty makes it such a wondrous place to visit as well as a tremendous source of inspiration for any artist. This historic city is a reflection of its wonderful natural surroundings and vibrant, unique popu-lation. The arts are flourishing “behind the redwood curtain” in Humboldt County, and Eureka is a sparkling reason why.

The Paint Quality Institute, formed to educate the public about paints and coatings, periodically searches for the 12 “Prettiest Painted Places in America”.
Naming of the 12 “Prettiest Painted Places in America” comes after a rigorous four-month search by the Paint Quality Institute that involved thousands of contacts with state tourism depart-ments, convention and visitors’ bureaus, chambers of commerce, and Main Street groups, all of whom were invited to nominate communities.
This time the effort produced nearly 200 colorful nominees from 48 states and the District of Columbia that submitted color images of beautifully painted homes, buildings and exterior mu-rals. A panel of judges with expertise in paint and exterior color schemes reviewed the entries and named two winners from each of six different geographic areas.
Ferndale was recognized for its historic business district with the many beautifully detailed commercial buildings and Victorian homes. Eureka gained honors for its collection of unique and color-ful Victorian homes .
The purpose of the competition is to give recognition to places that use paint to express pride in their communities, and highlight how an attractive exterior paint treatment can enhance the curb appeal of virtually any home, building, or exterior structure.
“A ‘prettiest painted place’ is a very special town or neighbor-hood with exceptional community-wide ‘curb appeal’,” explains Debbie Zimmer, paint and color expert for the Paint Quality Insti-tute.
“Curb appeal is often defined by beautiful color schemes on homes or buildings, and that’s typically the case, but exquisite out-door murals and creative use of paint color on statues, signage, traffic signals, water towers, and even streets and sidewalks have elevated the appearance of many of today’s prettiest communities” she said.
To get a look at the 12 Prettiest Painted Places in America, visit the Paint Quality Institute website: blog.paintquality.com/ppp/

There are racks of vintage Italian tile, art glass and supplies to entice any enthusiast. Reservations are required for workshops however open studio workspace is available to anyone during regular business hours.
The colorful and charming environment at Parasol Arts also displays over 100 different ceramic items to paint, design or leave
your hand print on. Dinnerware, cookie jars, mugs and toy banks are just a few of the choices available. Tiles, painted with your personal style, can compliment any kitchen back-splash. Paints are lead-free, non-toxic and food safe. The price of pottery includes paints, firing and all the studio time needed. Large groups discounts are available for birthday parties, fund-raisers, schools and clubs.
Parasol Arts is open Wednesday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Sundays, noon to 5 p.m. An art encounter for any age is a visual dance for the soul. Let your hand dance

The Blue Ox Millworks and Historic Park is a national treasure tucked away on the Eureka waterfront. On second thought, maybe that should be international treasure. The millworks
produces historically accurate, custom-made building parts and materials for the restoration of Victorian and other antique struc-tures. It also hosts a craftsman’s village, a school, and even a radio station.
The guiding genius behind the Blue Ox is Eric Hollenbeck, a Eureka native. He has produced pieces for historic cathedrals, two governor’s mansions, and has worked for the White House twice under two presidents. His jobs have come in from as far away as Kamisu, Japan.
Eric formed Blue Ox Logging and Lumber Company with three partners and a $300 loan about 40 years ago. The company per-formed salvage logging with great care and respect for the natural environment and prospered briefly, but during a downturn in the logging in-dustry in the early seventies the market for logs dried up and many mills closed their doors. The company began manufac-turing prefabricated log cabin-style sheds and turning out fence posts from their salvage logs to stay afloat, but eventu-ally the partners parted ways.
PALETTE FEATURESHOWCASE AND WORKSHOP ATBLUE OX MILLWORKSby David Kaftal
Eric, along with his wife Viviana, continued the business. An interesting but little-known fact about redwood logs is that
because redwood does not rot, salvaged old-growth redwood logs which were left lying on the forest floor 100 or even 150 years ago are still perfectly usable today. It merely requires milling to turn them into lumber.
Eric wanted to be able to cut up his logs, and drooled over pho-tographs of gleaming, brand new milling equipment in catalogs. Alas, they were beyond his means. What he could afford, and what he ended up buying, were ancient, rusting pieces of “junk” that no-body else wanted. He lovingly restored them and put them to work. One thing led to another, and soon The Blue Ox Millworks was up and running, producing authentic old fashioned parts for the many Victorian homes that dot Eureka, using authentic old fashioned equipment and techniques. The rest, as the old saw has it, is history (please forgive the double pun).
Much of Blue Ox’s equipment is extremely rare, some of it dat-ing back to just after the Civil War. The millworks has evolved into a sort of living museum, and receives visitors from all over the world, including senators, representatives, cabinet members, and foreign dignitaries. The historic park is a sort of artisan’s village which en-compasses many Victorian-era trades including of course wood-working as well as blacksmithing, printing, ceramics and plaster-ing. They also have a full time high school, in partnership with the Humboldt County Office of Education, which combines a regular curriculum with hands-on traditional skill acquisition. There is a logging skid camp too; it includes a bunk house, theater and cook house.
In addition to tours, inexpensive workshops are available, where people can forge a nail in the blacksmith’s shop, and make their own ceramic tile.

PALETTE FEATURE
Origin Design Lab is a sewing lounge and supply center for artists, designers and makers, both professional and hob-byist. We strive to provide an environment that encour-
ages creative community through shared space and tools. Our consignment boutique and retail space showcases the creations of our members and independent designers as well as provides an eclectic selection of crafting tools, sewing machines, vintage but-tons, and supplies to assist you in your creative endeavors.
We host workshops and classes to help those in the maker community further tailor their skills and promote their work in an inviting setting. So whether you want to learn how to sew gar-ments, make some home decor, learn to quilt, screen print, dye fab-rics, or create your own craft business we have the space where
you can let your inspiration be your guide. We offer space to rent by the hour, month or membership where individuals can work on a project of their choice while receiving instruc-tion in a small group.
We believe in Sustainable Sew-ing which seeks to reuse and con-serve existing materials, use earth- and people-friendly fabrics, and cultivate the idea that recycling, up-
cycling, reducing, and repurposing is beneficial for our community. In a world that chronically squanders resources, it has become im-portant to recast sewing as a sustainable skill and a component of a new thrift.
Sewing as practiced by our mothers and grandmothers was traditionally about self-reliance, ingenuity, and a smart use of re-sources. Today, sewing can recapture these qualities as well as fos-ter creative expression, reduce stress, and create social bonds. Sus-tainable sewing, such as refashioning new clothes from old ones, encourages fashion independence and – as with past generations – the pleasure of owning fine clothes and linens made at home.
Interest in personal sewing and clothing design has increased dramatically in the past few years. The Home Sewing Association estimates that the number of sewing enthusiasts in the U.S. has increased by 5 million since 2000, and annual sales of the leading
brand of sewing machines has doubled since 1999. Sewing classes and sewing clubs are growing in
popularity among a broad demographic, giving even beginners a chance to break the mold and become their own designers. With this resurgence in sewing comes opportunities for promoting sustainability and healthier practices regarding reuse and waste reduc-tion.DONATION PROGRAM
Origin Design Lab is collecting and distributing sewing machines, sewing notions and fabric to wom-en in need in our community. Our goal is to inspire creativity and self-reliance one sewing machine at a time for women who are in need in our community. We hope that these donations will help heal people’s hearts and lives. Sewing does help mend in more ways than just fabric. 707-497-6237 OriginDesignLab.com

In Humboldt County we are fortunate to have many op-portunities to appreciate art.
There are paintings, murals, sculp-tures, pottery and more displayed throughout the community in public places, stores, museums and galleries. There are also danc-ers, singers, musicians, story tellers, actors and the like who perform wonderful shows and presenta-tions for the community to enjoy. But there is one group of artists who get very little credit for their art even though it is constantly available and enjoyed in Hum-boldt and elsewhere. This quiet group of brilliant artisans are our food producers.
Here on the North Coast we are particularly fortunate to have access to some of the healthiest and finest foods available any-where. There are organic farms all over Humboldt County, pasture-based dairies, producers of grass-fed beef, organic eggs, poultry, fish caught in the local rivers and seafood from the waters off the coast. We have great bakers, coffee roasters, chocolatiers, wine makers, brewers, chefs and more crafting culinary works of art for the community to enjoy.
There are also marvelous natural foods stores, enchanting farmers’ markets, culturally di-verse restaurants and food trucks to help satisfy any need for gastro-nomic bliss.
The natural, artisan-made food in Humboldt County is pretty remarkable and deserves to be recognized. Next time you enjoy one of your favorite local products take a moment to appreciate the craftsmanship and art that went into creating it.

WHAT’S HUMBOLDT MADE?
In 2009, Humboldt County Economic Development launched “Hum-boldt Made,” a regional brand designed to crystallize the artisanal, quirky, pastoral and homegrown qualities for which Humboldt
County businesses are well known. The initial phase of Humboldt Made produced photographic imagery, videos, logo and wordmark icons, points-of-pride and built a social media strategy to connect with consumers who love Hum-boldt County. The ultimate goal of this project is to assist local businesses in aggregat-
ing resources to promote their products under one brand.
Humboldt Made participants agreed that the redwoods, sustainable agriculture, entre-preneurship, clean air and water, long growing seasons and micro-climates, that result in a variety of artisanal products set us apart. Our proximity to the ocean, the rain and fog, provide a high quality pasto-ral environment, where animals have plentiful, grassy pastures
and breathtaking views. Humboldt County is also home to fine jewelry makers, artisanal lighting professionals, fine furniture makers and more artists per capita than any place in California. With this agreement, Humboldt Made businesses began work to design a cooperative marketing strategy that broadens the Humboldt identity to include artisanal products.
Now, the brand is in a second phase of development. Humboldt Made businesses are working on an organiza-tional framework; New promotional films are being developed by Eureka filmmaker, Malcolm Desoto; Humboldt Made has a smartphone app available on ITunes and Google Play; and members are sharing in opportunities for business growth, including familiarizing themselves with the Fancy Food Show event in San Francisco.
For more information about Humboldt Made, visit HumboldtMade.com, find us on Facebook at Love Humboldt Made, or call 707-476-4813.

WWII VETERANS PORTRAIT PROJECTFaces of American Heroes, Portraits by Kathrin Burleson
Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices. Over 170 local WWII heroes were taken in 2011 and 2012 to
Washington, D.C. to visit and reflect at the WWII Memorial. Kathrin Burleson, a Humboldt County artist, interviewed each
veteran and over a year, created a collection of pencil drawings that will be shown Aug. 7 through Sept. 7, 2013 at the Morris Graves Museum. (See page 41) HonorFlightNorcal.org

ARCATA
The residents of the second largest city in Humboldt County fully appreciate the quality of life this col-lege town offers. Arcata has it all—fresh roasted
organic coffees, historic architecture, a Saturday Farmers’ Market on the town square, cooperative galleries and stu-dios, eclectic restaurants and the energy of Humboldt State University’s multi-cultural students. Arcata is also home to hundreds of artists all contributing to the quintessential art experience—even the city’s trash cans are works of art.
The Arcata Plaza, located in the center of town, serves as a venue for many of the city’s annual events, including Concerts on the Plaza, Pastels on the Plaza, the Farmers’ Market, the Arcata Bay Oyster Festival, the Kinetic Grand Championship and the North Country Fair. See pages 38 and 39 for events and festivals in the area.
For those interested in the more cerebral side of the arts, Humboldt State University of-fers the opportunity to experience art in a much more academic setting. The galleries at HSU present many captivating exhibitions featuring work by students and faculty as well as in-ternational artists. The Theatre Arts department hosts many dance and theater productions including the Ten Minute Play Festival and The Humboldt Film Festival. The Music Department holds recitals by faculty and students, as well as a Concerto/Aria competition in which student performances are judged by a panel.
Humboldt State University is also home to CenterArts. This is a program which brings notable musical and cultural entertainment to Arcata and the North Coast, with world class performances in all genres of theater, arts and music.

The tiny former logging town of Blue Lake rests near the banks of the Mad River off Hwy 299. Blue Lake is home to a surprising number of artists, musicians, writers and ac-
tors. At the center of its art community is Dell’Arte International, a world-famous school of physical theatre. Dell’Arte presents per-formances at various venues throughout the year with the sum-mer’s Mad River Festival being the highlight of their season. This month-long extravaganza brings together performers and audi-ences from “around the world and down the block” for theatre, sto-ries, clowning and music. It culminates with The Blue Lake Pageant, an event where dancers, musicians and masked participants take to the streets accompanied by gigantic puppets in an ener-getic spirit of creativity and celebration.
Also along Hwy 299 and along the banks of the Trin-ity River sits Willow Creek, a delightful place to stop for a cup of coffee and enjoy the ambiance of a rural commu-nity with a distinct and ev-ergrowing art scene. Willow Creek’s Studio 299 Center for the Arts is a non-profit com-munity organization devoted to the promotion and devel-opment of the arts in the area. Studio 299 offers artists a place to gather, and a way to share their work with the community at events such as the Taste of Willow Creek, the Art Walk in Willow Creek, Wil-
BLUE LAKE, WILLOW CREEK, HOOPA
low Creek’s Arts Alive! and the Willow Creek Farm-ers’ Market. The organization provides support for a wide variety of local artists, and is a sustaining re-source for the community and the arts on the Hwy 299 corridor of Humboldt and Trinity Counties.
An excursion inland devoted to arts and cul-ture must also include the art created by Native American tribes of the region. The Hoopa Tribal Museum, located up Hwy 96 on the Hoopa Valley Indian Reservation, is dedicated to preserving and sharing the rich cultural history and artistic prac-tices of Native Americans of Northern California.
The museum displays one of the finest collections of Hupa, Yurok, and Karuk artifacts in Northern California. Their collection includes a fine display of local Indian basketry, ceremonial regalia, dugout canoes, tools and implements used by the tribes.
Outside Humboldt County, Trinity County also has a lot to offer any art aficionado. With art organizations including the Highland Art Center and Trinity County Arts Council in Weaverville, as well as the Artist Resource Center, the Rural Arts Guild and Gallery, and Our Town Crafters and Artist Association in Hayfork, there is a lot of support and promotion of art in the area. With theatres, galleries, workshops and more there is ample reason to go to Trinity County to enjoy the arts.

NORTHERN HUMBOLDT COUNTYMCKINLEYVILLE, WESTHAVEN, TRINIDAD
The ocean and waterways influence the beauty of northern Humboldt County. McKinleyville is a beautiful, growing community bordered by the rugged Pacific Coast, nestled
between the Mad and Little Rivers, and filled with streams and creeks. It is home to the Azalea State Reserve, a 30-acre wilder-ness preserve filled with fragrant pink and white blossomed, wild azaleas in April and May. Nearby Clam Beach is known for beach-combing, fishing and horseback riding. The famous Hammond Coastal Trail presents stunning panoramic views of the coastline. Its art influences stem from a large Native American community, its days as a western pioneer town and from its fascinating natural surroundings.
North of McKinleyville is the tiny community of Westhaven, featuring the Westhaven Center for the Arts. The center features new exhibits and artists’ receptions each month, concerts and dra-ma events, workshops and classes, many children’s activities, po-etry readings, puppet shows, holiday events and other art exhibits.
Just past Westhaven is the seaside town of Trinidad, one of the most picturesque communities on the California Coast. Trini-
McKinleyville Arts Night is the third Friday of each month, from 6 to 8 p.m. Enjoy the community’s celebration of local art and artists for music, food and fun. Art Night is open for all McKinleyville businesses to display the work of local artists. For more information, contact coordinator Taffy Stockton at 707-834-6460. Find information about the artists and venues and see images online. MckinleyvilleArtsNight.com

SOUTHERN HUMBOLDT & AVENUE OF THE GIANTS
BENBOW, GARBERVILLE, REDWAY, PHILLIPSVILLE, MIRANDA, MYERS FLAT, WEOTT, REDCREST, PEPPERWOOD
The arts along the famed Avenue of the Giants (Old Hwy 101) are thriving. The majestic towering redwoods and winding Eel River make for stunning views, perfect for creative inspi-
ration. The small rural communities in the heart of the redwoods have gone from being booming mill towns to havens for artists, mu-sicians and craftsmen. From music concerts to chainsaw art, hemp clothing, jewelry making, wine making, specialty foods and the many fine arts, these towns in Southern Humboldt have garnered national attention for the talent they contain.
Benbow, Garberville and Redway, just outside the southern entrance to the Avenue of the Giants, are famous for several major yearly musical and theatrical events. The Riverwood Inn, a historic roadhouse in Phillipsville brings live entertainment to the area in its bustling tavern.
Redway is home to the Ma-teel Community Center, interna-tionally known for festivals and events. The Mateel operates as both an event venue and in-house arts presenter. Famous for such festivals as Reggae on the River, the Summer Arts & Music Festival and the Humboldt Hills Hoedown, the Mateel Community Center also offers an annual calendar of events which covers a wide range of artistic styles and media, and a wide variety of programs, from youth athletics and children’s the-ater to cooking classes and clown workshops. Many of these pro-grams are offered at no cost or at minimal cost to students and schools. Mateel.org
The area is home to retail shops, restaurants, roadside ven-dors and rural galleries all along the Avenue of the Giantsselling a variety of local arts and crafts. At many of the roadside stops along this route you will find unique carvings hewn from some of the glorious redwood trees that help give this region its name.
Miranda, near the southern entrance to the Avenue of the Gi-ants, has places to admire and purchase one-of-a-kind redwood

treasures and local artwork. The peaceful village of Myers Flat has Riverbend Cellars, a winery with a wine tasting room, nestled in the redwood forest, serving as a centerpiece of the Avenue of the Gi-ants. The whole Avenue journey, through Weott and Redcrest north to Pepperwood, is a visual treat for the traveler—both given in the form of natural beauty, and made by the hands of many gifted artists.

REGGAE ON THE RIVER
Reggae On The River was started in 1983 as a fundraiser to rebuild the Mateel Community Center after its origi-nal Fireman’s Hall location in Garberville was burned by
an arsonist. Taking place along the banks of the majestic Eel River at French’s Camp, the festival mixed Humboldt’s alterna-tive culture with world-renown reggae talent for a winning combination which exploded from humble beginnings into one of the largest reggae festivals on the planet. Attract-ing thousands of attendees from across the globe, the event became known as the world’s premier reggae festival until venue issues forced down-sizing and a subsequent move up river to Benbow Lake State Recreation Area in 2008. Though the tradition has continued strong over these years and the event remains southern Humboldt’s largest non-profit fun-draiser, 2013 represents a historic year for the festival as the Mateel Community Center gears up to take it back to its origi-nal French’s Camp venue on the weekend of August 1-4, 2013. Tickets for this special homecoming celebration go on sale Feb. 1, and are expected to go fast. For more information on the 29th annual Reggae On The River, call the Mateel Commu-nity Center at 707-923-3368 or visit their website. ReggaeOnTheRiver.com

MORRIS GRAVES MUSEUM EXHIBITIONSCONTINUOUS EVENTMorris Graves & Art of the Northwest
Come explore the work of Morris Graves from the Humboldt Arts Council’s Permanent Collection. Enhance your interpretation of the artworks on display by perusing the Interactive CD-ROM The Life & Art of Morris Graves. This educational tool allows the visitor to view a selection of artwork, the Loleta Studio of the artist, and to hear interviews from his friends and colleagues.
JANUARY 2013Peter Santino: The Exhibition at the End of Time, at the End of the World Through January 20
Peter Santino (b 1948, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas) considers the year 1968 to be the beginning of his art making life, and with the Exhibition at the End of Time, at the End of the World, he will mark his 44th year as an artist. On this occasion many who live on the North Coast will have the opportunity to see his work for the � rst time and be able to walk around, under and over installations of his art taking up an entire museum. Visitors will see
several installations throughout the Morris Graves Museum of Art that will deal with the problematic end of time and the world as predicted by the Mayan Calendar or Mesoamerican Long Count calendar. While Santino’s view of this is very oriented to his own artistic experiences, visitors may easily relate to his comprehensive exposition of our common situation on the occasion of the end of everything.
JANUARY through MARCH, 2013River As Home • Jan 30 - March 24
For the � rst time in its history, the Morris Graves Museum of Art will feature all local Native American art throughout the entire Museum. The exhibition is curated by Bob Benson, who is of Tsenungwe Native ancestry. “This exhibit represents the visual pulse of Native artists from the Klamath River and surrounding river systems. It is a comprehensive look at the spiritual and physical place through the world view of this area’s original peoples,” he states. Native artists from the Wiyot, Yurok, Hupa, Tsenungwe, Karuk, and Tolowa cultures will be included in the show. Many prominent artists such as Brian Tripp, George Blake, Deborah McConnell, Karen Noble, Lyn Risling, and Bob Benson will be featured.

In paying homage to American artist Morris Graves (1910–2001), David Anderson has focused on the � ower still lifes that Graves painted later in his life. David Kimball Anderson was born in Los Angeles, CA, and received a BA from the San Francisco Art Institute. His awards include several NEA grants, a Pollock Krasner, and a California State University Research Grant. His work is in the collection of the San Francisco Museum of Fine Art, the San Antonio Museum of Art, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Santa Fe.

JULY 2013Gary Cawood: ExcavationJuly 6 - Aug. 25
Excavation is an ongoing body of photographs that began in 2006. Cawood says, “Since the natural landscape is considered expendable in our culture, the surface scars we create seemed like an intriguing subject to explore.” Cawood selected sites that were excavated long ago, and at � rst focused on the surprising forms and colors created by erosion. Soon he began adding throwaways to the compositions. Like the land, much of the stu� we buy is considered disposable and
makes its way to sites like these. The photographs utilize the scarred l a n d s c a p e a s a co ntex t fo r t h e s t u f f w e a b a n d o n . T h e word excavation c o n j u r e s u p d i g g i n g f o r s o m e a n c i e n t ruin. And while archeologists try to reconstruct a logical narrative from discarded objects, Cawood’s purpose is to create a more poetic interpretation. He carefully selects the items to be included in the compositions, based on his intuitive sense of
the contradictions inherent in our culture—a range as quirky and mysterious as our mode of existence.
Botanically Inclined • July 6 - Aug. 4
Botanically Inclined is an exhibition that explores nuanced reverence for the diverse world of plants. Artists address our ongoing, symbiotic relationship with plants in a variety of materials. The artists included in this show tackle plant related images, themes, and concepts in unexpected ways from reductive, quiet drawings to bright, billowing wall sculptures, to formal structural abstractions. Participating artists include: Candace
Briceño from Austin, TX, Sue Whitmore from Chico, CA, Jessica McCambly from San Diego, CA, Teresa Stanley from Arcata, CA, and Ellen George from Vancouver, WA.
On Being Human: Sculptures by Kristin Lindseth Rivera and Paintings by George Rivera • July 31 - Sept. 21
The work of both artists is about the experience of being human, the depths and complexities of life and

relationships. It is about shared experiences and connections with others, and also about alienation, about darkness and light. Moments of indecision, of confrontation and change � gure prominently in the work of George Rivera, yet the paintings have a timeless quality due to the moments of decision that the artist captures. As he states, his subjects are on the brink of something--a discovery or a change in life.
The bronze sculptures of Kristin Lindseth Rivera are also about the inner experience of being human and becoming more fully human. The need for connection with others is balanced against need for isolation, for the examined life. The focus on the current body of work is on inner growth and transformation, expressed through a series of human busts and wall pieces. The early pieces focus on identity, and the process of becoming an individual, and these are followed by works that address the journey inward toward growth and transformation. The combined works of Kristin Lindseth Rivera and George Rivera represent a journey of faith and hope.
AUGUST 2013The WWII Veterans Portrait Project: Faces of American Heroes, (see page 26)Portraits by Kathrin Burleson • Aug. 7 - Sept. 7
Humboldt County artist, Kathrin Burleson, is co-founder of North Coast Honor Flight, a program that has taken over 170 local WWII veterans to Washington DC to visit the Memorial that was built in their honor. Over the past year, her artistic focus has been drawing and interviewing these veterans, most of whom are around 90 years old. This collection of pencil portraits is a visual tribute and expression of gratitude to the remarkable men and women to whom this nation owes so much.
“We can’t all be heroes. Some of us have to stand on the curb and clap as they go by.” Will Rogers
SEPTEMBER 2013Corey Drieth: Intuitive GeometriesSept. 5 - Oct. 20
Inspired by daily life, art history and religious traditions such as Zen Buddhism and Quaker Christianity, Drieth’s paintings and drawings explore contemplative spiritual experience. Drieth’s work begins with the basic design and construction materials of gouache and wood. Through the economical use of line, color, texture, size and the
illusion of light and space, he creates a visual dialogue between painted surface and wooden substrate. The resonance of this interaction is at once expansively mysterious and intimately familiar, an experience often associated with moments of contemplative insight. Due to Drieth’s content aspirations, this work belongs within the American tradition of small-scale non-representational abstraction, with artists like Georgia O’Kee� e, Agnes Martin and Richard Tuttle as some of its precedents. Drieth believes that experiences of subtle structural beauty can be incredibly valuable. Because they require quietude during a time of de-humanizing speed, clutter and noise, they serve as both a foil to the frenetic activity of contemporary life and as a method of sustenance within it.
Wayne JiangSept. 19 - Oct. 20
Wayne Jiang was born in Guangzhou China and came to the U.S. when he was 15. Jiang currently lives in Paci� ca, a small coastal town a few miles south of San Francisco.
For two decades Jiang has worked as a graphic designer and fine artist. He holds a degree in illustration from San Jose State University. In Jiang’s paintings, he enjoys creating an ambience that re� ects on stillness, solitude, and mystery. He believes in using simple, quiet scenes and objects to communicate deep emotion and relevance. In his work you might find influences from 17th Century Dutch genre paintings as well as 19th and 20th Century American Realism. When composing his paintings and choosing his subject matter, he draws inspiration from modern and documentary photographers like Walker Evans and Sally Mann.

NOVEMBER - DECEMBER 2013Suk Choo Kim: Big PicturesNov. 28 - Dec. 31
For the last several years, Kim has been making very large images by stitching together many photographs, sometimes up to 200 separate exposures. The viewers can observe a large image at some distance and then come close to see details of the smaller elements and their relationships. Kim wanted to produce a simple, large image which contains complex interaction
and relationship of elements within it. Sometimes this relationship creates chaotic friction not contained in either picture alone. Many of these stitched images are as large as 15 feet long. The origin of the component parts vary widely geographically, from locally in Humboldt County, to Mexico, China, Great Britain, France, South America, Easter Island, the Andes and Patagonia and as far away as the Himalayas. Suk Choo Kim studied engineering and mathematics in college, but it was the photography classes he took on the side that stirred his passion. This passion was further
stoked by spending the summers of 1971 and 1972 volunteering for the Friends of Photography in Carmel, CA, where he met and studied the work of master photographers like Wynn Bullock, Brett Weston, Morris Bear and Ansel Adams.
Kim continued with his other studies, ultimately making his living as an engineer and business executive, but his love of photography has remained a central part of his life. He worked as an army sta� photographer during his military service in the 1970s; founded Young Sang, a Korean photo magazine in 1975; and had major exhibitions of his work at Friends of Photography, the Oakland Museum, and the University of Florida in Gainesville, the Paci� c Grove Art Center, and the Monterey Museum of Modern Art. His work was also featured in a USIS (United States Information Service) exhibit that traveled to eight cities in Korea and Japan. Kim later returned to school to earn a master’s degree in photography, enabling him to teach the medium that has come to de� ne his life.
