We welcome paper artist, Star Padilla and muralist Addie Boswell to share their Artist Talk and Hands-on Workshop!

Learn about the meandering creative paths of our resident artists and what brought them from Oregon and Hawaii to Alaska for the summer. See the work they've been making and how they experiment with non-traditional and gleaned media, such as junk mail, recycled paper, magazines, multi-layer plastics, candy wrappers, and more. Leave with your own small art piece or contribute to the community collage the artists design.

Suggested donation: $10-$20.

To prep for their community engagement...

WE WOULD LOVE YOUR HELP!
