SUMMARY:AUGUST ABUNDANCE with artist Sara Allen in our back gallery
DESCRIPTION:We would like to welcome artist Sarah Allen to our back gallery for the month of August. \nSara Allen is an Alaska artist and founder of Laughing Lupin Studios. After more than two\ndecades working in Alaska’s tourism industry\, she now creates art full-time from her\nhome studio in Anchorage with her dog Bobber & her husband Nick cheering her on.\nInspired by Alaska’s wildflowers\, changing seasons\, and the beauty hidden within everyday\nchaos. Sara creates vibrant acrylic and mixed-media paintings filled with bold color\, layered\ntextures and expressive mark-making. While flowers often appear throughout her work\,\nher paintings are less about specific plants and more about capturing the feeling of joy\,\nwonder\, resilience\, and connection to place.\nAugust is Alaska at its fullest. The last of the salmon runs\, berries fat and ready for\nplucking\, gardens overflowing and the fireweed turning to fluff. Woven into that abundance is the quiet\nknowledge that the season is already beginning to turn. The first hints of autumn appear\, reminding us how\nfleeting these bright days truly are.\nAugust Abundance celebrates this uniquely Alaskan moment\, when nature is overflowing\, the light still\nlingers late into the evening\, and we are invited to savor the richness of the season before it slips gently\ntoward fall.\nYou can find Sara’s art year-round at Tiny Gallery downtown Anchorage and in Girdwood\, at the Girdwood\nCenter for Visual Arts as well as local fairs\, markets and on her website. \n   \nAUGUST ABUNDANCE will run through Friday August 28th.

SUMMARY:CAPTURING OUR TOWN via Plein Air
DESCRIPTION:The KAC is offering twice monthly outdoor art events (June through August) that give artists a chance to get together and creatively capture the scenery\, people and feeling of the Kenai/Soldotna Area.  This project has two purposes: \n1: Offer outdoor events that support and encourage artists to create bonds within the art community. \n2. Encourage artists  to create plein air works for submission for the upcoming call for art show titled OUR TOWN scheduled for March 2027. \nAugust 8th Location:  North Beach\, Spruce St\, Kenai \nTime: 2:00–5:00pm.  (PLEASE NOTICE THE TIME CHANGE) \nInstructions  for Artists:  \n\nJoin local artists outside while we create art that captures a sense of where we wander\, rest\, socialize\, recreate and live. Grab your easels\, paint brushes\, paints\, camera\, sketchpad\, paper\, scissors\, glue\, or whatever you use to render scenes and spend some time outdoors with art friends capturing the unique character of Kenai and Soldotna. \nSpots in old town Kenai\, the Kenai bluffs\, the kite festival\, Soldotna Creek Park\, local historical sites and other places will be where we come together as artists and the community becomes our subject matter for “the canvas”. \nSign in at every plein air location with our event coordinator and you can be part of the group that will be invited to submit works for the March 2027 show titled CAPTURING OUR TOWN.* At this opening reception in March we will be partnering up with the Kenai River Brewing Co to launch a new beer at this annual beer launch fundraiser. \n*More opening reception and call for art details coming in the future! \nFor more detailed instructions and plein air event dates and locations:https://kenaiartcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/Capturing-OUR-TOWN-via-Plein-Air-2.pdf

SUMMARY:TWIG CROWNS AND PAPER BOATS featuring artist ABBEY ULEN
DESCRIPTION:First Friday Opening Reception September 4th. 5– 7 pm \nIn our main gallery we welcome the works of artist ABBEY ULEN in her solo show titled TWIG CROWNS AND PAPER BOATS. \nIn Abbey’s words: \nI truly believe it’s crucial to keep our sense of wonder and curiosity alive. Through this\ncollection\, I hope we’re reminded of where we began—the toys we cherished\, the\nexploration of the natural world\, the people who shaped us\, and the magical imaginings\nabout adulthood that defined our playtime.\nUsing techniques like thin\, flat paint passages contrasted with highly rendered areas\, and\nlayering of additional elements\, helps convey emotion in my work. I’m strongly inspired by\nthe styles of artists like Mary Cassatt and Andrew Wyeth\, as well as the imagery and\nstorytelling of European medieval paintings.” \nLive Music\, refreshments\, artist talk. Open to the public and all are welcome.
