Barbara Wright Mosaics

At Arcata Artisans, we are proud to have been sharing art for 20 years. Our cooperative gallery is located at 883 H Street, on the Plaza in Arcata, Humboldt County. With 22 talented artists on board, we offer a diverse range of artistic mediums, including paintings, prints, jewelry, photography, ceramics, fiber arts, sculpture, glass, and wood.

Our Mission

In June 2003, a group of local artists came together with the vision of creating a permanent, high-quality retail space and gallery showcasing local art. Today, our mission remains the same - to provide our members and the community with a professional and respectful platform to showcase our work.
