Homer, Alaska – Steve Gordon exhibits at Bunnell Street Arts Center from August 7 – September 1, 2026. The exhibit opens on First Friday, August 7 from 5-7pm with an artist talk at 6pm. Special early exhibit access is available virtually to Bunnell donors at the Enthusiast ($250+) level on Monday, August 3.

Statement:

“When I’m mindfully moving through nature my senses are alive to color, pattern, shapes, movement, flow, and contrasts. Being in nature while fully present to the experience is a spiritual and life giving experience for me. I feel more deeply connected to myself and to God….My style of painting could be described as a painterly realism. I try to reproduce the particularity of light, color and shapes but I want the energy and movement of the brushwork to still be there. That’s what gives life to a landscape in my opinion. It is my hope that my paintings would help the view to re-experience the life-giving energy of God’s creation.”

A selection of new, unpublished works by (mostly) Alaskan playwrights.

Produced by Christine Kulcheski & Rudy Multz

It’s the third year of the 10 Minute play festival. You’ve become intrigued, piqued, obsessed even, but still, you’ve only been able to make the effort to spectate. Until now… You’ve unlocked a door with the key of imagination and beyond this plane there lies something enticing, something bizarre, something unbelievably compelling. Whoever the characters, whatever the plot, by some impossible twist, you can’t let go, you can’t walk away, you’re being drawn in…into Another Dimension.

Homer, Alaska – Carla Klinker exhibits Luminous Threads at Bunnell Street Arts Center from September 4 – September 29, 2026. The exhibit opens on First Friday, September 4th from 5-7pm with an artist talk at 6pm. Klinker hosts a two-day nettle weaving workshop on September 8 & 10th, from 530-830 pm at Bunnell Street Arts Center.

Artist Statement:

“This body of work marks an intentional shift toward art-making that begins with love and seeks to illuminate invisible threads of connection. Luminous Threads explores the delicate balance between overwhelming complexity and profound connection. The centrality of light provides an organizing structure within the expanse of natural networks.

Through images of light filtering through branching structures, free-form organic forms, and hand-woven strands of natural fiber, this collection traces the hidden architecture underlying my emotional and sensory landscapes, and maps an ecology of interconnectedness.

At the center of these works, glowing circles and illuminated paths emerge from the shadows, offering a place of refuge and direction. They are invitations to pause, to breathe, and to experience awe—not by untangling the wildness around us, but by finding love, clarity, and peace within it.” – Carla Klinker
