For over twenty years, HLOC looked for a place where people of all ages could have opportunities to explore their creativity, learn skills, and build confidence. A place where all of our endeavors could be housed to help promote and support the development of the performing artist in Humboldt County.
In March, 2015, HLOC opened the doors of the S.P.A.C.E. (Sunny Brae Performing Arts Enter for Education) at 92 Sunny Brae Center. After our dedicated crew of volunteers constructed the walls and dance floors, we now have two large classrooms/rehearsal halls, a lobby and office, as well as storage space for sets and costumes, and a sewing area.
With this new space we are able to increase our HLO KidCo offerings. In addition, we are able to design a unique array of classes to benefit adults and older members of the community.
The Humboldt Light Opera Company has always been a volunteer, self-sustaining non-profit organization dedicated to increasing participation in the performing arts for the individual well-being and improving quality of life for our rural community. We believe that HLOC’s SPACE will be an educational gathering place that will enrich all of our lives.
