Alaska Robotics accepting submissions for Student Show of Comic Arts

Alaska Robotics Gallery has announced the fourth annual Student Show of Comic Arts as its featured exhibition for January. This is an annual exhibition showcasing local student work. Any school-aged student, from kindergarten to high school living in the Juneau area, is eligible to enter. There are no size, style, medium, or content restrictions, but the work needs to be original (although fan art is acceptable as long as it is not traced). Students are allowed to enter multiple pieces of work.

The gallery is only accepting pieces that are ready to hang on the wall. The artwork must be either framed or matted, and must have a wire or twine securely attached to the back of the piece.

This is not a competition. Alaska Robotics is celebrating the upcoming generation of artists by providing them a space to exhibit their work and gain local appreciation.

Submit your work by bringing it to the Alaska Robotics Gallery (220 Front St.) by Wednesday, Jan. 6. The First Friday celebration takes place on Jan. 8.

The exhibition is open to the public in the month of January.

For more information, contact Alaska Robotics Gallery at 523-0303 or email crew@alaskarobotics.com
