From ancient myths to modern science\, the sun has inspired awe\, reverence\, and creativity. It gives life\, marks time\, and shapes our days with its warmth and brilliance. For our upcoming exhibition\, DREAMS OF THE SUN\, we invite artists to explore the sun in all its forms—literal\, symbolic\, emotional\, and environmental. \nThe KAC is interested in unique and original works including but not limited to: painting\, photography\, sculpture\, textile\, digital media\, installation\, and video\, etc that reminds us of our love for the light\, warmth and glow of the sun. Whether it’s golden hour landscapes\, abstract interpretations of solar energy\, personal stories of warmth and growth\, or explorations of shadow and illumination\, this show invites work that reflects the many dimensions of the sun.  \nWe prefer new art but will accept original works that have not been on exhibition in the KAC in the last 5 years. All 2D and hanging art must have traditional “ready to hang” hardware attached. If submitting work that is framed or under glass\, the surfaces must be clean and free of smudges and prints.  \n  \nArt Entry Submission form must accompany all submissions. For form: https:https://kenaiartcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/art-entry-form-12-12-26.pdf \nArtist statements  of 250 words or less are recommended but not required and should accompany the above form at time of art submission.  \nThe KAC will use our mission statement and vision statement to guide our choice when selecting works to include in the show. The KAC does not accept works that include violence or sexually explicit nudity.

SUMMARY:WORLD ON FIRE featuring art by Geoffrey Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our main gallery to view the works of Geoffrey Smith–painter\, sculptor\, and photographer in his solo show titled WORLD ON FIRE. \nGeoffrey has been characterized as a representational artist\, although stylistically he may be viewed as a naturalist. Geoffrey’s very large works and his signature artistic style can be deemed “loose\, wherein the subjects of his work are represented by basic elements such as fingerprints suggesting feathers or fur.  He mixes fine wax and oil paint\, then uses a palette knife to sculpt the painting and giving his work a distinctive deeply dimensional feeling displaying large strokes and layers of texture.  Geoffrey is a Conservationist and lover of nature. Much of his time\, talent\, and treasure goes toward supporting charities that foster his ideals. More info about Geoffrey Smith: https://www.geoffreycsmith.com/ \nOur First Friday Opening Reception for WORLD ON FIRE will be in our main gallery from 5–7 pm On August 1st. This show will run through Friday August 29th.

I am inspired by the wildflowers of Alaska and my garden. I have a background in functional ceramics from studying at Brigham Young University of Idaho where I honed my skills and techniques to create pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing\, but also serve a practical purpose. I love teaching\, learning\, and experimenting with different styles. As a mother of two\, I find joy in creating pieces that reflect the beauty of nature and bring a touch of the outdoors into my everyday family life. My work is a blend of passion for pottery and a deep love for the natural world\, creating pieces that are both unique and timeless. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Susie Scrivner--Portraits Of The Kenai
DESCRIPTION:Susie Scrivner is a self taught painter\, sculptor\, leathersmith\, glass worker\, musician and much more. She is the owner of SZQ Studio in Soldotna\, Alaska. After she suffered a severe life changing illness\, Susie began to delve into painting and other forms of art. According to Susie before she ever sold any work\, she listed a painting “As a fluke…[in] a local ad and when it sold\, I began to wonder if this closed door that I had viewed with so much loss and grief\, was perhaps actually a guiding wall that if I had the courage to follow it\, would direct me to a new place where life could breathe through me once more.”  \nWe invite you to the solo show PORTRAITS OF THE KENAI to see the many glorious works by Susie Scrivner at our First Friday Opening Reception on Friday October 4th\, 5–7 pm.  Live piano by Maria Allison. Appetizers. Free event open to the Public.

SUMMARY:MOMENTUM--KAC SILENT ART AUCTION 2024
DESCRIPTION:Our September & October 2024 fundraiser will be a little bit different this year. Instead of the usual Harvest Art Auction & the Silent Art Auction\, in the back gallery we will have on exhibition MOMENTUM–KAC SILENT ART AUCTION 2024.  The Kenai Art Center has been around for 70 years….and we want to carry that momentum into the future for at least seventy more years! We have invited local artists to exhibit and offer their work at a reduced rate so you can take advantage of the opportunity to purchase amazing art at a fraction of the original cost. In the back gallery\, The silent bidding will open on Friday September 6th at 5 pm in conjunction with the First Friday Opening Reception of the Aquarelle watercolor show happening in the main gallery.  Gallery visitors will have from September 6th until October 25th to bid to own their favorite pieces. This is the main fundraising event of the year for the KAC and the proceeds will go to updating and repairing our beloved old building (new boiler\, lighting system\, new roof\, to name a few). In the past\, we have asked the participating artists to donate their work with 100% of the proceeds going directly to the art center. Because our mission is to help support local artists\, this year we felt we wanted to adhere to that mission more closely and have given the artists the option to donate 100% of the sale of their art to the KAC or they can choose to receive 30% of the auction sale of the piece they donate.  This is going to be an amazing event! First Friday Opening Reception Sept 6ht 5–7 pm. Live music by the TUNEWEAVERS! Delicous appetizers and wine will be served.  Free event and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Wildflower Whimsy featuring artist Ashlee Oliver-Frey
DESCRIPTION:On the right wall of our main gallery Ashlee Oliver-Frey will be showing works in her exhibit titled “Wildflower Whimsy“. Ashlee describes herself as a photographer and watercolor artist. She moved to Alaska in 2014 after graduating from Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine.

My recent works explore the threshold between the imagination and the bountiful Alaskan landscape\, and I am excited to see where this journey takes me.”   \nFor more information about Ashlee and her art please visit: https://ashleeoliverfreyart.square.site/ \nThis First Friday opening reception will coincide with the Tattoo Artists opening reception on Friday August 2nd 5–7 pm.
