Through painting, sculpture, photography, installation, printmaking, textiles, and video, the exhibition considers time through memory, history, mythology, labor, tradition, and imagination, inviting visitors to slow down, look closely, and consider how the past continues to shape the present. This exhibition will be on view through March 13, 2027.

Featured artists: Ryan Bonilla, Cody Bustamante, Laurel Bustamante, MK Guth, Maria de Los Angeles, Charlene Liu & Isami Ching, Sara Siestreem (Hanis Coos), Gerry Snyder, Alex Valentine, and William Warden.

Join Streets for Everyone for the First Friday Bike Ride (FFBR) each month. This fun, family-friendly ride is a great way to meet and talk with other community-minded bicyclists.

5:00 pm – Meet on the Plaza in downtown Ashland.
6:00 pm – Finish right back where we started on the Plaza.

These bike rides happen wind, rain, or shine except when the air quality index, AQI, is at or above 100. We give free Bicycle Benefits stickers to all FFBR riders. They are good for discounts at a growing list of local businesses.

Parents: We ride on streets downtown, so if your child is learning (wobbly and unsteady), we suggest they ride with you on the back of your bike.

First Friday Bike Rides are family-friendly bike rides for people of all ages and abilities. We celebrate every first Friday, all year long, Ashland’s future where it is safe, convenient and efficient to bicycle for short in-town trips from anywhere to everywhere. Join us for a fun and short bike ride in and around town.

The Humboldt Folk Dancers invite the public to a live music, International Folk Dance Party, Friday, November 7 from 8 to 10:30 p.m. at the Redwood Raks World Dance Studio, 824 L Street, in the Creamery District in Arcata. The event features easy dances and an evening of international music with Chubritza. Cost is $5-10 sliding scale, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All ages and dance levels are welcome, and you don't need a partner. (707) 496-6734. humboldtfolkdancers.org.

Starting May 3, the heart of downtown Ashland will be home to the Saturday Market, running every Saturday until October 26, from 8:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. in the 100 block of Oak St. This exclusive one block long market provides healthy options, fresh organic produce, artisan foods, and more every week for the locals and travelers passing through.

Ballet Fantastique’s Cleopatra sweeps audiences into a lavish, intoxicating world of dangerous romance and fierce political intrigue. Choreographer-Producers Donna Marisa and Hannah Bontrager craft an epic, cinematic dance theater experience where great rivals collide—and Cleopatra, scholar, mother, ruler, and visionary, dares to shape the fate of a nation.

A luminous Hellenistic queen in an Egyptian kingdom shadowed by Roman power, Cleopatra navigates war and romance, politics and passion, alliance and betrayal—holding multiple identities as she astonishes, rules, and endures.

Experience this bold collaboration with world-renowned Beats Antique—live in the Silva Concert Hall for the first time—and only from Ballet Fantastique.
