Open to the public. Free event! \n  \nInformation For Mural Artists: \nThe KAC is looking for mural artists who have participated in past KAC mural shows to show and sell their stretched murals for our May 2025 mural sale happening in the back gallery.  \nIf you are interested\, here are the sale details:  \n\nYou must be a Kenai Art Center member to submit your mural for sale or there is a $35 entry fee.\nThe murals need to be on a stretcher frame. They don’t need to be traditionally framed\, but will only be accepted if they are stretched.  Hanging hardware must be attached on back of piece. \nEach artist needs to fill out and turn in an art entry form with their submissions. Each artist may submit up to 3 murals.   To download and print a form: https://kenaiartcenter.org/forms/\nWe are accepting mural submissions starting Saturday April 5th through Saturday April 26th. \nThis will be a rotating sale–meaning\, as a mural sells\, we will replace it with another one. This will help draw more people in to see your work since we will be changing the show each week. \nAll decisions about the order the murals are shown and hung is up to the executive director with input from the KAC board of directors. \n\nThere is also another mural sale in August\, so be thinking about getting your murals stretched for that one too!  \nIF you have any questions\,  reach out to us via email at kenaiartcenter@gmail.com

SUMMARY:WORLD ON FIRE featuring art by Geoffrey Smith
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our main gallery to view the works of Geoffrey Smith–painter\, sculptor\, and photographer in his solo show titled WORLD ON FIRE. \nGeoffrey has been characterized as a representational artist\, although stylistically he may be viewed as a naturalist. Geoffrey’s very large works and his signature artistic style can be deemed “loose\, wherein the subjects of his work are represented by basic elements such as fingerprints suggesting feathers or fur.  He mixes fine wax and oil paint\, then uses a palette knife to sculpt the painting and giving his work a distinctive deeply dimensional feeling displaying large strokes and layers of texture.  Geoffrey is a Conservationist and lover of nature. Much of his time\, talent\, and treasure goes toward supporting charities that foster his ideals. More info about Geoffrey Smith: https://www.geoffreycsmith.com/ \nOur First Friday Opening Reception for WORLD ON FIRE will be in our main gallery from 5–7 pm On August 1st. This show will run through Friday August 29th.

The Live Outcry Auction will happen on Saturday September 27th at 6 pm.   Drinks and catered hors d’oeuvres will be served at the Outcry Auction. \nThe Live Outcry Auction art is also on display for the month\, so you can see which pieces to bid on in person–but get your tickets if you want to be part of the Outcry Auction on the 27th. \nThis fundraiser supports the Kenai Art Center’s workshops\, programs\, and preservation of our historic old town Kenai building.  Many thanks to everyone for supporting and  participating! \nFor tickets: https://square.link/u/49AI0QTY?src=webqr \nOr stop by the KAC to reserve your seats in person.

SUMMARY:JUST OUR TYPE featuring artists Meezie Hermansen and Kimberly Lorentzen
DESCRIPTION:Join us in our back gallery starting on November 14th for this two woman show titled JUST OUR TYPE. \nMeezie Hermansen and Kimberly Lorentzen will bring this interactive show to the KAC and in their words this exhibit is “intended to celebrate the written word and the themes of human experience in our community. We are together\, just our type of community…There is currently\, world-wide\, a resurgence of appreciation for the beauty of the manual typewriter as an elegant machine and of the physical experience of using it in a world that has become increasingly digital and virtual.”  \nIn the preceding months to the show opening\, be on the lookout for for staged public-use typewriters around town in coffee shops\, bookstores\, etc with invitations to share thoughts that will then be on display at this interactive exhibit. \nTheir idea was inspired by conversations asking the following questions: \n\nIf art heals\, can it heal the neglect of our physical bodies brought about by our minds’ engagement with a largely virtual world?\nCan the act of sharing thoughts publicly heal the separation that members of a community can feel in a society that has become increasingly divided along ideological lines in digital and virtual public discourse?\n\nThis show will open in tandem with the Mural Show opening reception in the main gallery on November 14th and will run thought December 19th. \nAbout the artists: \nMeezie Hermansen is a lifelong Cook Inlet setnetter and a small animal veterinarian with a love for the craft of writing.  This has brought her to the world of vintage typewriters.  Here\, she rediscovered the magic of seeing words appear physically in the world in real time\, with no easy editing\, resulting in a slower but more distilled writing process. \nKimberly Lorentzen grew up in rural Alaska where the village pace left plenty of time for curiosity and discovery. Whether writing\, painting\, or working in clay\, her goal is to showcase small wonders that are often missed\, to point at tiny marvels and yell\, “LOOK!” to anyone nearby. She uses whatever is at her disposal to do it.  She caught typewriter fever from her friend\, Meezie\, over long conversations about the trend toward all things fast and digital. \n
