Opera Alley Exhibit Space Project

The objective of this project is to provide Humboldt County artists and art students a prominent space for exhibiting their artwork, help beautify the exterior of the museum, and help make this area more inviting to the community and visitors alike. With all the artwork digitally archived on our website, the public will be able to view all the previous exhibits we’ve hosted. This ongoing project will allow many artists an opportunity
to show their artwork to the community.
In conjunction with the City of Eureka’s effort to revitalize Opera Alley, the Clarke Museum has completed phase 1 of our overall project of creating a dynamic display space on this wall. We are still seeking funding to complete this worthwhile project, which is why we are holding a fundraiser: The Opera Alley Block Party. We are also accepting donations.

Current Exhibit: Arcata Arts Institute

These images were created by students in the Arcata Arts Institute, a school within a school at Arcata High School for the advanced study of the arts. The Arcata Arts Institute offers Master Classes in a variety of topics. These images were created in an Intermediate Photoshop Master Class taught by Johanna Mauro. You’ll notice that some of these images had slight adjustments made to them which altered the value and contrast, while others were heavily manipulated in Photoshop.
​
One of AAI’s core beliefs is to collaborate with our community. We are pleased to partner with the Clarke Museum in this way. It is the first time we have participated in an outdoor gallery space! To learn more about AAI, please visit our website, artsinstute.net.
