CENTER GALLERY
Meaning of River | Marianne Stolz
Marianne Stolz, Memories of a Meandering River, local aspen wood, plywood, acrylic paint, fire-blackened, 16 x 14 x 1.75 inches
Meaning of River is an exhibition by woodcarver Marianne Stolz, presenting work inspired by the intricate complexity of rivers. Using traditional hand tools, she carves local wood into flowing forms, delving into the ecological importance and emotional depth of rivers. Her carvings restore the river from a burbling background noise back to the powerful, life-giving force it is. Drawing on a lifelong passion for exploring the natural world, Stolz channels her reverence for nature into each carving. This exhibit is a deep dive into the river not only as a natural feature, but as a concept: a symbol of connection, resilience, and change — flowing through every aspect of life, human and wild.
NORTH GALLERY
Anchorage Portrait Group
The Anchorage Portrait Group is a collective of artists who gather weekly to study the traditional practice of portraiture. For over ten years artists have gathered across Anchorage to create community and foster growth in observational painting. Crossing generations, this has been a group that has welcomed artists of many levels, working in a variety of mediums. This exhibition highlights the creative endeavors of the group over the past two years while we have been located within the annex studio space next door to the main IGCA gallery. This is not a class or a workshop, but an open session with models and passionate artists. All the artists within this group come from different studio practices and ideals, but within the three hours on Saturday morning, we sit down and create something universal.

ANC Zine Fair Little Library
Friday, November 7, 5–8 PM
This year, the ANC Zine Fair is hosting a pre-fair little library and info point at the IGCA Annex — a small prequel to get people in the mood. On display are this year’s fair poster, designed by Shoko Takahashi, and a selection of local zines from past fairs. This pre-fair event is a great opportunity to get in touch and get involved!
The ANC Zine Fair takes place the next day, Saturday, November 8, at The Nave in Spenard.
