HUMBOLDT — The public is invited to Original Humboldt to see the results of a gathering of artists, hosted by the Humboldt and District Gallery.

"On an idyllic fall day in October 2023, a group of people gathered at Original Humboldt for an afternoon of land-based learning with Elder Gilbert Kewistep and his son Myron Neapetung," a release from the Humboldt and District Gallery said. "Among the learners were a group of artists who have since created new works inspired by the knowledge shared by Gilbert and Myron, the experience of being together on the land, and the sights and sounds of the landscape.

"Now, in the winter, we are gathering again to share the new works, and everyone is invited to take part in the event. Meet the artists and learn about their artworks and the creative process that led them there."

Inspired by the Land takes place on Saturday, Feb. 17 from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
