Denali Arts Council is opening it’s doors to celebrate the start of summer.
Join us May 15th ,2021 at the Sheldon Community Arts Hangar from 4-7pm for an aerial photography themed art show with pilot/photographer Katie Writer.
Katie has been documenting climate change observations from her aerial perch. Recently, she was awarded 3rd place for Best Magazine Feature from Alaska Press Club.
“Witness to Change~General Aviation’s Role in Documenting Climate Change in Alaska” has local pilot’s voices as well as Alaskan climatologists and photography that will be presented in this show. Katie’s nature inspired art and photography will be available for sale and some of the proceeds will benefit Denali Arts Council as it opens its doors with all the Covid-19 precautions. Masks will be required.

Each year Green Light Circus brings together the community in a way that strengthens the very roots of why began our organization in the first place. As one of the inceptive programs within DAC we hope to take these uncertain times and turn it into a pause of purpose. A time to remember all the indelible moments and regroup for a stronger season next year. May we show our community adoration and support to such a great program through continued passion and togetherness.

We missed seeing our Circus Students in 2020 but look forward to 2021.

Any questions please call the GLC Program Director Mary Farina at 907-355-4699

Denali Arts Council Presents a virtual exhibition in collaboration with SVS PTSA President Caitlin Palmer.
We are posting work that students of Susitna Valley Junior Senior High School have created daily on our instagram and Facebook feeds.

SVS students are a richly talented and diverse group of young people. Our rural Alaskan school of just over 200 students in the sixth through twelfth grades are a daily inspiration to our school community.

“Our student artists hope these images bring you joy during this time of social distancing. In turn, we hope that by bringing SVS students talent to the wider world it will help our emerging young artists to continue their creative processes into the future.”- Caitlin Palmer

This show was made possible by volunteers from the SVS PTSA, and grants from Jessica Stevens Community Foundation and Talkeetna Batchelor Society.

If interested in any of the work for sale below please contact info@denaliartscouncil.org. Note: Artist receives 70% and 30% goes directly to the Talkeetna Artist Guild.

We are so grateful to have the grant support from the following contributors especially during these uncertain times. Not only do they help us with the funds to do the GOOD work at hand, they are there by our sides strengthening the community around us as well.

We want to acknowledge your role in our mission to promote the importance of artistic expression and opportunity within our home village of Talkeetna the Upper Susitna Valley.

Together we are improving the quality of life in Alaska by providing opportunities of creative cultural exchange and dynamic dialogue around the arts.

With great pride and ambition we carry on moving our mission forward for a shared purpose. Champions for meaningful success, we thank you for uplifting us along the way.
