Every year dozens of Alaskan artists create unique art plates for Bunnell’s Plate Project. The bisqued plates are blank “canvases” for brilliant food-safe underglazes. The finished painted plates are then competitively selected by new and renewing members as thanks for their annual support. The Plate Project would not be possible without the time and talent of Homer potters who transform hundreds of pounds of clay into 100+ plates each year. Thank you to 2023’s potters: Ahna Iredale, Jeff Szarzi, David Kaufmann, Ruby Haigh, Maygen Lotscher, Carl Bice, Lisa Wood and Tara Schmidt.
Materials, guidance and good company are guaranteed when you join us in gallery to paint. All plates are due back on April 15th. You can also elect to take a plate (and glazes) home if you prefer. The Plate Project is open to anyone committed to crafting an excellent plate that will raise essential operating support for the mission and programs of Bunnell Street Arts Center at the Annual Plate Project Opening in May.
Please join Quentin Simeon as he reads, recites, and reenacts some of his writings and a pair of traditional stories from his Yup’ik culture on March 31st, 7pm at Bunnell Street Arts Center.
Quentin Simeon is a Yup’ik storyteller who now lives on Kachemak Bay. Since graduating with a BA in English from UAA in 2006, he has been working in higher education and cultural education while serving as an Alaska Native cultural liaison and intercultural communication specialist.
Simeon illuminates the living tradition of contemporary Yup’ik storytelling in five stories: “Tannish Brown Soul: 2002,” an exploration into being bicultural in Alaska; “Mother Hugger: 2003,” an observation of energy, population, capitalism, and entertainment of the time in rhyme; “Martuli: Recent History, a traditional Yup’ik War Story from the middle Kuskokwim”; “Ocular Conflict: 2022,” a traditional Yup’ik War Story about the origins of war in the YK Delta, recited in rhyme, and “Humble Inferno: 2016,” poetic imagery of recovery and rejuvenation.
Tickets are $10-$30 sliding scale.
