Corona Self Portrait Project
Call to Artist in response to the coronavirus pandemic, this open call asks artists to reflect on identity in the context of isolation. Alaska artists already know a great deal about isolation and the importance of maintaining community connections and are invited to offer their unique representations to this project, which already has contributors from around the world. The exhibit is live and ongoing, launched on March 25th, 2020. Submissions will be considered through at least May 31, 2020, please check the website for updates! but don't wait, entries are reviewed on a rolling basis. This project is open-ended. It may fade with the pandemic, or it may live on in memory of this moment in history. Select artworks will be featured on a weekly basis.
Visit https://www.coronaportrait.com/ and carefully read the details for how to submit a self-portrait. 2D and 3D works are eligible as long as they can be represented in a high-quality photograph. Minimum requirements for submission include an image of your self-portrait, full name, date of creation/completion, and city/state/nation.

A quarantine challenge!!! Make art, while staying at home, with what you have on hand! Artwork must include at least one empty toilet paper roll! Gather supplies get creative!
We will be posting these images on our website for all the world to see and would like to keep people and personal effects out of the image. Please take a photo of the artwork that is just the artwork. Have fun deciding how you want everyone to see your art. It might photograph nicely in the garden, in front of a blanket, or a backdrop of your own design. You want your artwork to be the focus of the photo. Send the beautiful picture of your artwork and a title to Katy at katyp@ketchikanarts.org by June 1st! We will have a wonderful online exhibit with the artwork on Friday, June 5th!
Returning Blueberry Booth Holders Deadline
Applications for the Blueberry Arts Festival are available NOW!!
While we have released the Booth applications, we are continuing to wait for communications with the Ketchikan EOC, City, and Borough to understand the parameters for a safe Blueberry Arts Festival. We will remain flexible and in compliance with all mandates. The City of Ketchikan is open as of May 22nd, but things very well could change as visitors come to our port city. If it is determined the community will be considered “open,” during the dates of the Festival, KAAHC will then assess whether we are able to produce the Blueberry Arts Festival safely, with modifications for physical distancing, hand washing stations, mask-wearing, etc. If KAAHC is unable or prevented from producing the Blueberry Arts Festival in 2020, all booth fees will be returned in full.
