The daylight hours are getting longer and splashes of color will soon be upon us. In the meantime, stop by Homer’s art galleries and take in First Friday Opening Receptions and see new work by local artists, including paintings, mixed media, comics, pastels, and more.
August First Friday shows feature an artist new to the Homer art scene among a solid collection of well-known southern Kenai Peninsula and Alaska artists. Ptarmigan Arts, an artists co-op, features the photography of its newest member, Blaine Wright. At the Art Shop Gallery, veteran photographer and author Taz Tally has five new black-and-white photos taken on his many hiking and skiing trips around Alaska.
