Project Description

With support from the CAC, the Larry Spring Museum will develop a group exhibition as the culmination of Redwood Time, a multi-year community-made response to the redwood round and its affixed timeline that dominates downtown Fort Bragg. Committed to a radical localism, the project reinterprets time, memory, and place through participatory art-making. Phase 3 (2026): The exhibition of the completed fabric round will take place in the dry shed on the old mill site — a historically potent location where the original tree was milled. The fabric round will anchor the exhibition, accompanied by works from local visual and performance artists. Fort Bragg has historically taken a traditional approach to public programming, and the transformation of the mill site by artists will model a contemporary way to engage with the community and its contested legacies.

Organization Summary

Inspired by Larry Spring’s collection and practices, the Larry Spring Museum fosters his quirky spirit of inquiry through exhibitions, workshops, events, and arts-based community-centered collaborations. We support emerging, mid-career, and self-taught artists, makers, and other curious beings by providing a platform to develop and share their practice through hyper-local, analog, and intuitive modes of knowledge production.
