The Alaska State Museum is now accepting applications for solo exhibitions by individual Alaska artists. The program is open to all resident visual artists who have not had a solo exhibition at the Alaska State Museum within the past six years. The deadline for receipt of the completed application is August 26. Alaskan artists are invited to submit applications to a selection committee comprised of museum staff and art professionals, and are encouraged to develop new works for this opportunity. These solo art exhibitions will be scheduled starting in 2017. Interested artists can learn more on the Alaska State Museum’s artist opportunities page at museums.alaska.gov and apply at callforentry.org. For questions, please contact curator of exhibitions Jackie Manning, jackie.manning@alaska.gov.
Artists may work in any medium. The completed application must contain 10 digital images of the type of work proposed and up to 5 video files, as well as a written description and résumé. Approximately six artists will be selected for exhibitions to take place in 2017-2018. Selected artists will be announced on September 12.
