Pickleball is a paddleball sport that combines elements of badminton, table tennis, and tennis. Two or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a ball over a net. The sport shares features of other racquet sports: the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules somewhat similar to tennis, with several modifications. Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard game. ***ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME!*** Price of class is $6 for adults and $4 for youth 12+/students/military/veterans/seniors 62+.

Artist Statement

“My works examine diverse approaches to observing weather through direct human perception and indirect methods, like satellite imagery. This process highlights humanity’s complex relationship with climate change, weather modification, and our urge to control natural phenomena. My paintings on paper and panels often feature cloud-like forms layered with symbolic targets or molecular structures of greenhouse gases, while my installations echo cloudscapes and natural forms. Inspired by weather data codes, I integrate abstracted colors, marks, and shapes that reflect human influence on nature.”

This is an open time to come walk or run indoors and not have to worry about the conditions outside. We will have background music playing over the speakers. Come get your stroll on!

Quentin Ciissiar Simeon, born in Bethel and raised by the Kuskokwim and Aniak Rivers, now creates story born from the visceral cultural values of the Yup’iaq people. A Storyteller and multimedia artist, Quentin–with the help of so many human beings and organizations–has produced a series of short films using hand-drawn stop-motion animation. As he journeyed through the branching depths of story, his relationship with the drum, and re-embracing two-dimensional creativity, he found himself through muddy reflections. His passion for empowering people and strengthening communities through story and traditional Yup’iaq values unfurls Indigenous ways of life with the wisdom of ancestors and youthful vigor-llu (too). An award-winning storyteller and artist who now works in the heart of Tikahtnu, Quentin works to weave traditional and contemporary stories with gentle clarity and vibrant delivery to reveal connections and relationships deep in the memory of our blood and bones.

This program is presented with support from the National Performance Network, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the Curating Indigenous Circumpolar Cultural Sovereignty project funded by the Alaska Native Museum Sovereignty Program and the Henry Luce Foundation.
