SUMMARY:STEEL SENTIMENTS featuring metal artist DAVID MORRIS
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nBack Gallery: STEEL SENTIMENTS featuring metal Artist David Morris.

David uses raw metals along with scrap metals\, reclaimed engine parts\, and other scraps he discovers.  His tools consist of an MIG welder\, plasma cutter\, oxygen and acetylene torches\, grinders and various hand tools.  In David’s words\, “I get promptings from time to time to create art for beautiful people that cross my path that I feel would be uplifted when they feel seen [through my art]”.  David invites people to look closely and touch and feel his pieces. He wants his art to have a “Touch and Feel factor”. This show will coincide with the main gallery opening reception and run through July 3rd.

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.
