Five opportunities. One bold vision.

Healdsburg is full of galleries, studios, performance spaces, and public art — but unless you already know where to look, you'll miss most of it. CUBE is funding a European-style wayfinding signage system that connects residents and visitors to every cultural destination in town, starting with a new welcome sign that sets the tone from the moment you arrive.

Most weekday evenings, downtown Healdsburg goes quiet by 8 PM. Slow Nights, Bright Lights changes that — a pop-up arts series that transforms slow evenings into jazz nights, poetry slams, bilingual storytelling, comedy sets, and more. Culture after hours, in the spaces that need it most.
‍

Not a craft fair. Not a holiday pop-up. A proper European-style Christmas market — two weekends and a full week of local artisans, handcrafts, food, music, and community in the heart of Healdsburg. Built to become the city's signature holiday tradition.

A mural on a utility box. A temporary installation on a vacant storefront. A mosaic on a retaining wall. Micro-art projects are small-scale, high-impact interventions that make every corner of Healdsburg a little more alive — and they put art directly into the hands of the community, especially young people.

CUBE's micro-grants program puts money directly into the hands of local and emerging artists — with priority given to youth arts, bilingual access projects, and work that puts culture in the public realm. No institutional affiliations required. No MFA needed. Just a good idea and the ability to execute it.

Our vision on day one is bold, aspirational, and achievable — by design. We're here for the long haul. As we plan for 2027 and beyond, we want to hear from you. What does Healdsburg need next? All ideas welcome.
