Collaborative Artwork Featured at Resse Bullen Gallery Feb. 14-Mar. 14

Opening on Valentine’s Day, Humboldt State University’s Reese Bullen Gallery will present an exhibit of collaborative artwork by members of the campus community based on the themes of acceptance, diversity, tolerance and inclusion.

Titled “Collaborate, Create and Communicate,” the exhibit is funded in part by alumni gifts to the Humboldt Loyalty Fund, which supports a wide range of university programs including student scholarships, faculty research, academic programs, the library and special projects.
