Our final First Friday of 2024 will have a holiday theme. The wonderful group Cecelia will be caroling throughout the evening, we’ll be doing interactive craft activities for kids and families, and Santa Claus will be stopping by to visit with children of all ages. Beautiful wreaths and swag hand-crafted by our friends at McFadden Farms will also be available for pick-up for those who pre-ordered. We’ll have a limited number for sale if you didn’t get a chance to order ahead of time. We highly recommend you pre-order, though — see the link for ordering just above.

Visitors will also have an opportunity to take in our current special exhibition, Earth Portraiture: Ray Strong’s Northern California Landscapes, featuring 49 paintings by Oregon-born artist Ray Strong (1905-2006). One can also view our core galleries dedicated to the artwork of Grace Hudson, exquisite Pomo basketry, and Carpenter-Hudson family history. Light holiday-themed refreshments will also be available.

On First Fridays, the Museum is free for everyone, all day and evening!
