SUPPORT
The gallery is supported through membership, donations, public and private grants, special events and the sales of artwork. It is a delicate balance and we must continue to seek support to continue to keep the gallery open, organize exhibitions and expand programs.
The upcoming season will include:
- A makeover for the gallery. We need to spruce up floors, ceilings and walls to ensure quality exhibition space
- Exhibitions of interior design, photography, video art with workshops for all artists in new technology, work of member artists, and solo exhibitions for Alaskan artists
- A collaboration with the Alaska Photographic Center featuring 50 Alaskan artists creating new works with support from the Alaska Humanities Forum and the Rasmuson Foundation
- Partnerships with Seattle arts organizations and artwork/artist exchanges
- Partnerships through exhibitions with the Alaska Native Arts Foundation, the Alaska Chapter of the American Institute of Architects, and the Alaska Design Forum
- Annual statewide juried contemporary art exhibition
- Expand our website (www.igcaalaska.org) to feature the work and websites of member artists and online exhibitions
- + many more exhibitions, classes, workshops, and programs
