Mark your calendars for the Ink People's "Night Masquerade" on Saturday, October 5th from 7pm until late. The enchanting event will celebrate artist-conjured interpretations of night and will be filled with mystery. All proceeds will support arts and culture endeavors in the community. *Participating artists will be announced as we get closer to the event!

This added donation will support special BIPOC-led projects, 2SLGBTQIA+ projects, and other projects that meet acute community need through a special grant program that will be available to these communities. *This option is a contribution directly to this fund. Please buy a separate ticket for the event!

The Ink People has a longstanding commitment to publicly presenting community engaged art through the Brenda Tuxford Gallery. Founded by Executive Director Emeritus Libby Maynard and Brenda Tuxford in 1982, the gallery is now co-located with the Humboldt County Visitors Bureau at 422 First Street and offers local artists the professional presentation and public exposure they deserve. Your purchase of a Gallery Sponsorship Ticket will help ensure that this vital programming is available to the public year-round!
