Valdez, Alaska, December 15, 2020: The Valdez Museum is pleased to announce its first exhibit for the New Year! Art on Your Own is a community wide art show that runs January 8 through March 7, 2021 and will showcase works by local artists in three age categories, 5-10, 11-17 and 18+. The show will be similar to the Museum’s recurring exhibit Celebrating Valdez Artists, last held in 2015. For 2021 this new exhibit takes the place of our annual Student Art Show. It gives local artists a chance to display their creative endeavors in a museum setting, and to share their art with the community.
Art on Your Own will feature up to 54 pieces, with one entry per artist. The Valdez Museum & Historical Archive is currently soliciting artwork that must be made within the past year. Artists must not have had solo exhibitions previously at VMHA within the past three years. The deadline to submit artwork to the Valdez Museum on Hazelet is 5 pm on December 21, 2020. For specific details you can download the Art on Your Own Submission Form here.
We look forward to showcasing the independently-produced creations by Valdez’s impressively talented artists!
