Museum Midday: Cedar the Tree of Life
Curator Ryan McHale will lead participants on a the new exhibit, Cedar: The Tree of Life.
This is a chance to dig your roots a little deeper, hear the stories behind the exhibit, get some behind-the-scenes insight into how it came together, and learn the context and details you might otherwise miss.
If you’ve already visited the exhibit (or are planning to), this is a great way to experience it in a new way and spend some time with the ideas, materials, and stories that make cedar such an essential part of life in Southeast Alaska. Join us, ask questions, and take a closer look.

OPENING "I'm Terri's Daughter: A Tribute to Inherited Weirdness & Unrelenting Creativity"
Ketchikan artist Cameo McRoberts’ original intention was to create an exhibition archiving the story of her mother’s longest “work in progress”; her magical, ever-evolving home in Port Protection. But in the process, Cameo realized that her mother’s longest-running, most complex “work in progress”, isn’t the house at all.
It’s Cameo herself.
