Family Arts Day: The Humboldt Arts Council is hosting a “Second Saturday Family Arts Day” on March 14 at 2 p.m. at the Morris Graves Museum of Art. Enjoy a free art-making workshop that invites families to explore together. This month, inspired by artist Leslie Kenneth Price’s exhibition “Embracing the Quiet,” participants will create abstract paintings using various techniques. All materials are provided. Art educator Genevieve Kjesbu will be there to help.
Mini Masters Program: On March 15 at noon, the Humboldt Arts Council presents the “Mini Masters” program. This month, families can listen to “In a Jar” by Deborah Marcero, a touching story about friendship. After the reading, kids can create their own memory jars, with guidance from Genevieve Kjesbu. Plus, each child will take home a free copy of the book!
These events not only provide entertainment, but they also foster community connections and creativity. Participating in local activities can enhance wellbeing and bring people together, as highlighted in a recent study published by the Journal of Community Psychology, which noted that social interactions positively affect mental health.
So mark your calendar and enjoy everything the Arcata area has to offer!
