Friday July 4th 2023 5--7 pm

KAC wants to start the 2024 New Year by giving. This Open Call show will exhibit works that reflect the FEELS LIKE HOME theme to raise money and bring awareness to the KPBSD Students in Transition program.
What can the Students in Transition Program provide?
• Immediate School Enrollment
• Free school meal benefits
• Transportation to and from school
• School Supplies
• Assistance in obtaining vital records
• Referrals to local social service agencies and public programs

Students who don’t have stable housing face special challenges when it comes to school success. It is hard to learn if you are worried about your next meal, about staying warm at night, or about where you’ll be sleeping next. Students who frequently change schools or are frequently absent lose out on valuable learning time and often fall behind their peers.
When an exhibition piece sells during the show, the artist will be paid all of their portion of the sale, and the gallery will donate 100% of the gallery portion of the sale of the piece to the Students In Transition program. There will also be a donation box available all month while the show lasts if you want to help the cause. There will also be a donation box available if you want to help the cause.
Art submission applications for this show will be accepted Saturday November 11th through Saturday December 16th and one more day on Saturday December 30th, 12:00--5:00 pm.

Kenai Art Center's First Friday Event gives gallery visitors the opportunity to view and vote for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place awards from the works on exhibit at this exciting show.
