June 2022 - Residents at work, artist showcase, open studios
In the words of our first resident artists...
Hayden Casey, Andie Aylsworth, Maizy, Rhombie Sandoval, Jon Fischer, Ashaki M Jackson
I felt very at home and at peace in the trees and surrounded by so much nature. The program was focused on creating camaraderie from the beginning. We fell into a close knit group very quickly. I was very productive.–Andie Aylsworth
I liked being able to talk to other artists as they explored their media, thinking through their processes. The place is a wonderland. It’s secluded but it’s comfortable and safe. It helps to clear one’s mind and play more freely.
–Ashaki M Jackson
[As an artist participant] you are in for a nourishing experience in a very deliberately and lovingly organized, organic community that will really have an impact on the way that you might think about your own work as you engage with other creative people.–Jon Fischer
We often met at the end of the day and talked about what we had been working on. Creativity does come so much easier when you have a really solid network of people to rely on and stoke those creative fires. I got a lot of work done! –Hayden Casey
All five of us were deeply impacted by the opportunity to come together and be inspired by the Creekside community and the incredible spaces that you’ve built.–Rhombie Sandoval

OUR MISSION
Creekside Arts is designed and created to bring together artistic residencies, workshops and performances. Our goal is to create an environment in which creative artists and audiences interact in a positive and structured way to learn from and inform each other and then bring that learning into the larger Humboldt community. To that end Creekside Arts is committed to equity and welcomes people from diverse cultures, backgrounds and experiences.
