ARTIST OPPORTUNITIES

SOLO EXHIBITIONS
The museum organizes a solo artist exhibition program, through which Alaska artists are invited to submit a series of slides of their work for review by a selection committee. This committee then meets to select artists for solo exhibitions at the museum over the next two to three years. This is a very competitive program, as the museum can offer three or four exhibits a year to solo artists for the approximately 100 that apply. Once artists have been selected and scheduled for solo exhibitions, the museum produces a full-color brochure/catalog for each artist and assists the artist with freight and mailing costs. Solo artist exhibitions are open to Alaska artists only.

JURIED EXHIBITIONS
The All Alaska Juried Statewide Art Exhibition occurs every other year, alternating with the Earth, Fire and Fibre, the biennial Alaska juried craft exhibition. Prospectuses for both exhibitions are posted on this Web page during open entry periods.

The All Alaska Juried Statewide Art Exhibition is juried by a well-known museum director, curator, artist or critic from a nationally recognized institution. These jurors visit Alaska to look at the work and also give free public slide lectures. Once the exhibit is chosen, it is on view at the Anchorage Museum for three months and then begins a year-long tour to museums in different communities around the state. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalog. Substantial prize money is awarded to artists, including a $1,000 best-of-show award. This exhibition is open to Alaska artists only.

Earth, Fire and Fibre, a craft exhibition, is juried by a well-known museum director, curator, artist or critic from a nationally recognized institution. This exhibition offers awards and the opportunity for the work to be viewed statewide. This exhibition is open to Alaska artists only.
