Take Me to the Water: Histories of the Black Pacific

Join us for the opening reception of Take Me to the Water: Histories of the Black Pacific, an exhibition that reveals the untold stories of Black seafarers and their enduring connections to California’s North Coast. Curated by Dr. Caroline Collins, the exhibition broadens the maritime narrative to include Black whalers, mariners, explorers, and shipbuilders whose journeys along the Pacific have shaped regional and global history.

Enjoy an evening of art, conversation, food, and drink as we celebrate the opening of this powerful exhibition.
