Past events & programs
From 2025-2026, DiRT & Glitter was able to offer FREE arts adventure experiences to Del Norte and Native Youth and our community, including workshops, community gatherings, youth performances, ongoing courses and more.
The program was made possible through the generous support of the Yurok Tribe’s Klamath Promise Neighborhood Initiative. You can learn more about the expansive experiences we offered to our community here!
