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

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:LIGHTS AND PERFECTIONS--Artist Moira Ireland

Open to the public. \nThis show will run from April 29th through May 29th \nMoira is not new to the KAC. She won first prize in a previous call-for-art judged show and has shown many interesting and creative pieces at open shows at the KAC. \nMoira watches for the revelation of the divine presence in everyday instances\, dreams and stories.

Between walks with her dog and homeschooling her 5 children\, she can be found at her easel\, in her garden or working on her home. Moira expects to graduate from Milan Art Institute in 2026 and is looking forward to traveling this year both around Alaska and beyond. \nMore about Moira:https://www.instagram.com/moiraireland.art/ \n
