2nd Quarter Commons Gallery
A collection of dynamic oil paintings featuring fantastic animals from ancient literature!
Animals of all kinds have fascinated Danelle since childhood, and it was natural for her to meld her interest with a burgeoning passion for making art. Each piece employs Danelle's powerful use of color. The vibrant compositions are intended to bring the viewer a deeper understanding or a fresh perspective on each animal she brushes onto the canvas.

Celebrate Jeff Fitzwater’s Contribution to the Arts in Ketchikan Day!
Last week, after almost exactly 7 years at the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council, Jeff Fitzwater submitted his resignation.
Jeff has been a stabilizing and gentle force at KAAHC for many years, bringing us humor, thoughtfulness, and awesome posters, programs, social media graphics, and more. He has been the gracious and welcoming face of KAAHC and has kept membership, ticketing, and volunteer management clipping along while creating all of the marketing and promotional materials needed to keep the community informed and aware of KAAHC activities. He has been a wonderful presence in the organization and a delightful friend. We hope the best for Jeff on his next adventures.
On June 8th please help us bid a fond goodbye to our long-time friend and Administrative Manager Jeff Fiztwater on his last day at the Arts and Humanities Council, and the official day to Celebrate Jeff Fitzwater’s Contribution to the Arts in Ketchikan Day at the Main Street Gallery from 9 am to 5 pm. Come say hello, thank you, and congrats to Jeff on his last day here. Snacks and refreshments will be available all day!!!
