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:June 9 - Live Concert: Wild Shore New Music
DESCRIPTION:Wild Shore New Music Features the Music of Joseph C. Phillips Jr.  \n  \nKenai Art Center welcomes Wild Shore New Music\, a New York-based\, Alaska-raised chamber music collective featuring composer Joseph C. Phillips Jr. on Thursday\, June 9\, 2022 at 7 p.m at the Kenai Art Center located at 816 Cook Dr\, Kenai\, AK 99611.  \nThe concert is a free event with a suggested donation of $20 at the door.  \n  \nWild Shore New Music presents new chamber music in south-central Alaska and is one of the only organizations dedicated to contemporary chamber music in the state of Alaska. Wild Shore fosters collaborations between living composers\, versatile musicians from all over the U.S.\, and creative artists and residents from the state of Alaska. ​Founded in 2012 by three Alaska-raised musicians\, Wild Shore presents concerts\, lecture recitals\, and education workshops across Alaska and the US. This year\, Wild Shore will feature musicians from Alaska performing the works of Brooklyn-based composer Joseph C. Phillips Jr. and have a group of performers from New York and Alaska.  \n  \nThe program will feature several of Mr. Phillips’ works including Unlimited\, from his larger work Changing Same. Mr. Phillip writes that Unlimited is “about my conscious acknowledgment of my heritage in popular and contemporary music and culture\, but reflects a post-black aesthetic… Through a lens of individual experience\, Changing Same explores some of this richness\, diversity\, and complexity of blackness in America during my lifetime.” \n  \nOther works include The Spell of Vanishing Loveliness\, a piece about Mr. Phillips’ personal experience on the day the Twin Towers were attacked\, and Never Has Been Yet\, a piece for piano and narrator setting the text of Langston Hughes’ poem “Let America Be America Again.” \n  \nPerformers Includes:  \nSunrose Winslow\, voice (Homer\, AK) \nKatie Cox\, flute (Brooklyn\, NY) \nSandra Cox\, clarinet (Anchorage\, AK) \nRose Crelli\, violin (San Francisco\, CA) \nAndie Tanning\, viola (Brooklyn\, NY) \nMannfried Funk\, cello (Homer\, AK) \nKade Bissell\, percussion (Anchorage\, AK) \nScott Hansen\, piano (Fairbanks\, AK) \nJame Moore\, guitar (Princeton\, NJ) \nJoseph C. Phillips Jr.\, composer/conductor (Brooklyn\, NY) \n  \n
