Community Calendar

This is an open playgroup for parents/guardians to bring their young ones* to a great big open space and let them run around and play. Bring your own toys or play with what SPARC has provided (no pedal bikes w/ brakes allowed at this time, only strider bikes & scooters). This class is available Mondays, Wednesdays & Saturdays from 10-11:30am (unless a special event interferes). Cost is $4.00 per child.
* This means toddlers not in kindergarten, or not of school-age yet (~5 yrs. old & younger) -- older siblings are allowed but need to be careful of the littles!

***Please bring a pair of clean indoor shoes for you & your child to change into (in the entryway). Thank you for helping to keep our new floor looking good!***

Homer, Alaska – An installation and studio artist from Fairbanks, Tamara Wilson exhibits “Street Lamp” for the month of December at Bunnell Street Arts Center. The exhibit opens on first Friday, December 5th from 5-7pm with an artist talk at 6pm.

Artist Statement:

“Creatures created from a place of wonder, wander, joy, and grief. As my work shifts away from deciphering my curiosity of domestic space, I have become increasingly fixed on what or who occupies these spaces. Manifested from a love for lamps, many of these artworks have literally and inspirationally evolved from the table lamp.

I am an installation and studio artist from and working in Fairbanks, Alaska. I create artwork influenced by daily life in this beautiful place where I have built my home and studio, the ancestral lands of the Dena people of the lower Tanana River. I returned home after receiving my Master’s in Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. I have been honored to attend artist residencies in Tartu, Estonia, Homer, Alaska, and Rovaniemi, Finland. I strive to support creatives across Alaska to give back to my generous community through operating The Lemonade Stand, a mobile art space. My professional life has included numerous fields and trades with one constant: doing whatever is necessary to support my art. As an artist, I use these experiences alongside my practical Alaskan upbringing to create artwork out of remnants of our daily lives.”

South Peninsula Hospital is sponsoring open walks again this year! All are welcome to these open walks (strollers, elders, walking sticks, wheel chairs, ect.). No sign up is required. Some Mondays we will also offer health education opportunities such flu shots, blood pressure checks, surveys, and more.

This is your time to do what you’d like in an open environment. This class is $4.00 pp and is open to all ages (unaccompanied minors must be at least in 3rd grade w/ parents' permission & signing of SPARC waiver).
