What is Portable Southeast?
Portable Southeast is a traveling exhibit that is part of the JAHC Gallery Program. All works should be inspired by life in coastal communities, small and/or packable, all media are eligible. The exhibit is curated by a group of people who represent various communities across Southeast Alaska, with a goal to coordinate a body of work by Southeast Alaskan artists that tours the region. The mission of this project is to provide exhibit opportunities for artists outside of their hometown, to build communication & networking opportunities among both large and small Southeast Alaska communities, and to create new partnerships between arts agencies and museums in Southeast Alaska.
This project is made possible with support from the Alaska State Council on the Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Portable Southeast is managed by the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council (JAHC).
