SUMMARY:Call For Art--DREAMS OF THE SUN  January 2026
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \n  \n \nCall For Art: DREAMS OF THE SUN  \nArtwork submission dates: November 8th through December 19th 2025 \nExhibition Dates: January 2nd through January 30th 2026 \nOpening Reception: Friday January 2nd 2026 5–7 pm \n  \nDuring the dark winter months in Alaska\, we often reminisce of spring and summer–when the sun felt always present and real in our sky. 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. See our statements here: https://kenaiartcenter.org/our-mission/ \nFor questions or more information please contact the KAC Executive Director at kenaiartcenter@gmail.com  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:MOTHERHOOD: GOOD GRIEF featuring artist Brianna Allen
DESCRIPTION:Main Gallery: MOTHERHOOD: GOOD GRIEF solo show featuring artist Brianna Allen \nFirst Friday Opening Reception Friday June 5th \nLive Music. Refreshments. Free event and open to the public. This show runs from June 3rd through June 26th. \nFrom Brianna: \n“I am a multidisciplinary artist who gathers stories to practice self-introspection\, community building and consider the broader strokes of social systems around motherhood. My art practice considers how sharing vulnerable stories in exhibit\, literary and performance venues inspires a deeper kind of listening. It builds relationships\, it awakens joys and insecurities. My social art practice project\, The Momologoue Collective is informed by a community of story contributors\, creative partners and audiences. I continue to expand upon an interdisciplinary approach that includes paintings\, installation\, performance\, and playwriting. I’m building an archive of voices to timestamp mothers’ lived experiences in America\, exploring topics of grief\, bodily autonomy\, and care systems. My work proposes a reevaluation of care systems towards a future centered in support\, listening\, protection\, education and connection”. \nThis show will highlight paintings\, cement installation work and the written word. \nFor more info about Brianna and her project: https://www.momologuecollective.com/ \n—————- \nBack Gallery: Artist Zirrus Vandevere. \n \nZirrus will be installing sculpture pieces made from found/reclaimed materials and SCOBY (the mushroomy looking growth that occurs during the fermentation process while making kombucha). Zirrus describes her work this way:  \n“The fact that it’s a living\, growing thing that sticks to itself and to substrates as it dries in various states of translucency feels symbolic to me on a number of levels. It feels abundant\, messy\, curious and earthy\, like life. Like culture. Like symbiotic relationships that sometimes get messy. Like all things with senescence\, unless preserved for a time in one way or another\, will return to the soil and meld into nature carrying its own complexity of energy that can neither be created nor destroyed but only changed… \nIn this way\, each container shaped little soul is both entirely unique and ultimately similar to others in its clade. Like you. Or like me. \nIn my installation for the back gallery\, I’m hoping to discover new ways to play with these creatures and how they interact with various substrates in homage to life and to creativity itself\, illuminating and protecting the pieces to hopefully instill in viewers some sort of simulacra of curiosity and reverence for all things coincidentally ephemeral and somehow also held within the construct we call time.”  \nZirrus’ show will be opening concurrently with Brianna Allen’s solo show titled MOTHER OF… \nThis show will run from June 3rd through June 26th. \n
