A Holiday Exhibition is produced by Humboldt State students. Students enrolled in the Art Museum and Gallery Practices Program participate in the daily management and planning of exhibitions at the gallery.  The gallery provides real-life opportunities for the students to develop their gallery and museum skills, which in turn provides them with experience that will help them to enter the job market. Many students who have participated in the program have gone on to careers in museums and galleries throughout the nation.

The exhibition will run from November 24 through December 31.  A reception for the artists will be held Saturday, December 2, from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. during Eureka’s monthly Arts Alive event. The gallery will be open daily from noon to 5 p.m. The gallery will be closed on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Admission is free.
