Exhibits: 4:30-7 p.m., artist talks: 6 p.m. and 7 p.m.
The Alaska State Museum will open two solo artist exhibits with a reception sponsored by the Friends of the State Library, Archives, and Museum. A mountain assembled from hanging rocks, a tapestry of fish skin, a dip net made of clay – these are just a few of the works in Annette Bellamy’s solo exhibition, “Moving Mountains.” The show pays tribute to the things that sustain us. Bellamy will lead an exhibit tour in the gallery at 6 p.m. In “Lost Language,” Daniel Papke’s paintings focus on an internal search for the deeper meaning of the images, mythology, and visual narratives that captivate his imagination. He paints layered images on large hand-stretched canvases using oils, alkyds, wax mediums and classic glazing techniques. He will give a presentation on his work in the APK Lecture Hall at 7 p.m. Both presentations will be recorded by KTOO for later broadcast on 360 North.
