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.
