  Samba Parade

On May 13th and 14th The North Coast Metal Arts Guild  participated in the second annual Humboldt Arts Festival in Arcata, California.  This arts, music and dance festival coincides with the graduation ceremony at Humboldt State University, also located in Arcata, California.  This is a festival that celebrates local artists of all kinds in Humboldt County California.  We had such a good time connecting with the community and other local artists.  All four members(Erin House, Erin Austin, Lia Sharp and Jessie Howes) of the guild were there at the festival to sell their wears.  There was some great local art represented and for sale at the festival like, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, clothing and some great screen printing too.  We met these two hilarious ladies selling screen printed shirts cardigans, and sweatshirts.  They call themselves Tease and their stuff is great! There is also an art show at the Ironside Gallery that opened the day of the festival and will be up until June 30th.   After the sun went down on the first night there was an amazing fire dancing show complete with three large metal sculptures shooting fire into the air!  It was the most incredible fire show I have ever seen.
I included pictures of our booth and our fancy new banner that Erin Austin and her husband Geoff did the graphics for.  Also, a picture of our free standing wall that Erin Austin and I (Erin House)made and finished with some great fabric Erin had lying around.  Thank you to everyone who participated in the Humboldt Arts Festival!  It was a blast!
