Step into the world of Saturday Speaker Series: Virginia Howard Mullan "Humboldt County Courts World’s Fairs Florence Harrie (1889–1981, Karuk) and experience the legacy of a master weaver. Born at Katimîin, the Karuk center of the world, Florence returned to her ancestral home after boarding school to learn the art of gathering and weaving from renowned weavers like Elizabeth Hickox. She made her living through her craft and today, her great-grandson, Bradley Marshall, has lovingly curated this exhibit to bring her story home.
What makes this exhibit so special?
Florence’s personal weaving chair
The last basket she ever wove
A ceremonial dress made by her descendants that still dances in ceremonies today
Join us at the Clarke Historical Museum and immerse yourself in this deeply personal tribute to a Karuk cultural icon. Don’t miss it!

ART ON FIRST: An Artful Life, Solo Exhibition John Palombo

Monday, March 31 - Monday, April 28, 12:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Opening Reception: Friday, April 4, 5:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Currently featured at ART on FIRST are nature inspired paintings by John Palombo. With just enough challenges growing up to gain some deep colors and spectrums in his life, John has made use of the follies and torture of being human and turned them into joy and happiness by finding something that truly speaks to his soul - visiting remote natural areas and painting. John loves color and creating color. His focus has always been on landscapes of Southern Oregon, particularly Southeastern Oregon. When creating a composition, John's interest is to translate the magic that he sees in the world and in nature onto his surface. With this, he hopes to inspire his viewers to find the same magic, or something that is personal to just them.

When you feel like you have tried everything and nothing is working, we can help.

SWOCC will provide their portable planetarium for the show, which is entitled "Jupiter's Ice-Encased Moon, Europa." Europa is the fourth largest of Jupiter's moons and the sixth closest. It has an icy crust that scientists think may be 10 to 15 miles thick and hides a global ocean of salty water below. Attendees to the Planetarium Show will experience an up-close view of Europa and learn more about its frozen world. The drop-in planetarium show will begin every 30 minutes with the last one starting at 8:00 PM. Space in the planetarium is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
