Pastels on the Plaza 2022 - Arcata, CA - A Benefit Art Show for Northcoast Children’s Services - Original Chalk Artwork on The Sidewalk - 39 Pictures

Since 1987, Northcoast Children's Services has partnered with local sponsors and artists to transform the sidewalks of the Arcata Plaza into a colorful art gallery on the first Saturday in October. Pastels on the Plaza is a benefit for Northcoast Children's Services where businesses & other sponsors are invited to purchase a square of sidewalk to be transformed into a work of art by local artists willing to donate their time and creativity to this unique community event. Proceeds from this event help fund our Preschool and Family Services that extend to over 1000 children and families in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties annually. https://ncsheadstart.org/events/227-2/

Healing the Body with United Indian Health Services - Documentary TV Show (2018) about the Potawot Community Food Garden in Arcata, CA

While “Food Deserts” is a term used by many to describe urban areas without access to fresh food, this issue is not just one that inner city areas are struggling with. Native peoples in rural areas often lack easy access to healthy, affordable food and a younger generation is witnessing the effects of health issues in their community. As a result, they have started several food sovereignty programs across California. The most prominent of these is in Arcata, CA at UIHS’ Potawot Community Garden which is serving as an inspiration for other initiatives across California.
