Join us for the Opening Reception of "Art and Science on the Katmai Coast". The exhibit features the culmination of Cordova artist David Rosenthal's 2015 artist residency at Katmai National Park. Rosenthal joined scientist studying environmental impact in Katmai creating a body of work reflecting his experience. Main Street Gallery openings are always the first Friday of the month, and are free and open to the public.

As Ketchikan Museums continues exploring our community’s unique identity through conversations within the community and delving into the accounts and images that carry our history, one symbol keeps emerging: hands. The logger’s wooden handshake, the nurse’s healing touch, the salt-cured scars of the fisherman, the baker kneading elastic dough, the dexterity of an elder sewing beads—These are able, active, working hands, and they created our town.

Our ability to make is at the foundation of our history and culture. This special exhibit explores how vital our hands are to our identity, how important they are in transforming our environment and building our town, and how they keep our community alive today.

Solving Problems, Telling Stories: Handcraft in a Harsh Environment, the new special exhibit at the Tongass Historical Museum, opens to the public on Friday, March 1, 2019, with an opening reception from 5-7:00 PM.

Friday, March 1: You did what?

A 10,000 Mile Journey The Mongol Rally offers those who are up for adventure an opportunity to explore regions of the world most would never explore. From London, England to Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia this 10,000 mile journey is made all the more interesting by the size of the vehicle! Suzuki Altos, with a small 1 litre engine, are not normally designed for the off-road experiences of Khazakstan, the back-roads of Russia, or the never-ending bumps of the Mongolian dessert, but this was the car of choice for Romanda Simpson and her partner as they took on the challenge of arriving in a mere four weeks. Join Romanda for images of beautiful countries and people, and hear stories of travel trials and tribulations as well as heartwarming instances of connection.
