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. 

Now Featuring:
Sewing Circles: Stitching Together Community +
​When Designs Escaped Baskets 

Highlighting our two current exhibits, paired together showcase the handicraft of women across Humboldt County. Seeing the geometric designs of quilting and basket designs makes you aware of the similarities between the two. Following these two interacting timelines of crafting and cultural history explores great moments of communities coming together and cultural survivance. Showcased here on Opera Alley are items from When Designs Escaped Baskets and quilt squares colored by the community. Be sure to visit inside the museum to see the full exhibitions!
