Morris Graves Museum of Art

The Humboldt Arts Council (HAC) is the official Humboldt County, California, USA arts council located in the Morris Graves Museum of Art (MGMA).

Organized in 1966 and incorporated in 1971. It is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation dedicated to providing opportunities for artists, developing arts education, and making the arts accessible through innovative and multicultural programs. The council, as Humboldt County's largest multidisciplinary arts organization, focuses on working in partnership with artists, arts organizations, community groups, and schools to strengthen the arts’ accessibility and impact as aesthetic, personal and social resources. The Council envisions that the importance of art will be evident in all aspects of life in Humboldt County, including homes, schools, businesses, and government. The council is dedicated to providing leadership in support of the rich heritage of the arts on California's North Coast, and to bringing this legacy fully into community life.

In 1987, HAC became the State Local Partner for the California Arts Council and the community representative for the California State Summer School for the Arts Program.
