Bunnell Street Arts Center - Visual Arts Exhibits Program

Bunnell Street Arts Center's flagship Visual Arts Exhibit program has earned a national profile for over 30 years of innovation and excellence. A new exhibit opens the first Friday of every month with a public reception and artist talk. Exhibits promote education and community engagement about Alaska's artistic heritage and diversity, with solo exhibits nurturing and promoting Alaska's mid-career artists.

Exhibits are open to Alaska artists in all media and formats, including solo, group, and interdisciplinary arts. Exhibiting artists are selected by an advisory committee composed of Bunnell artists, staff, board and community members working with Bunnell's Artistic Director. Artists are notified by December 31st each year. The application fee is $25, with needs-based waivers available upon request to [email protected].

Applications should include an artist statement, exhibit proposal or statement of intent, artist resume, and 5 images of recent work representing the proposed exhibit. Work need not be for sale. Bunnell seeks exhibitions that value innovation, excellence of craftsmanship, community engagement, relationship-building and fiscal sustainability. The strongest applications show a clear and unified body of work that resonates with Bunnell's mission and values, with the artist's work and intentions clearly represented and described.
