Call For Art! HCOA is now accepting art drop offs for our Fun with 5x6x7 community group show, through 5pm November 1st!

It’s time again for HCOA’s annual 5X7 show. Started in 2018, the Fun with 5×7 show is about challenging artists to experiment or try something new. This year, we’re adding a third dimension to experiment with. The Fun with 5x6x7 offers artists the same freedom to create with more variety in shape and size.

There are no prompts or subjects and is open to all mediums, so artists can follow their own inspiration. The show is open to all ages and abilities, and we invite everyone in our community to take a chance and create something. Each artist may submit up to 6 works.

Learn more and submit your work online at https://homerart.org/event/2025-fun-with-5x6x7/, artwork must be turned in to the office by 5pm November 1st!

Kachemak Bay in Metal Clay: A Coastal Alchemy of Object and Wearable Arts By Carley Conemac is on display in the HCOA Gallery through Monday November 3rd. Gallery hours are 1-5pm Mon-Sat

Kachemak Bay in Metal Clay is a celebration of shoreline memory, texture, and transformation. This exhibit explores the interplay between natural forms and metalwork, preserving beach-found objects—stones, shells, driftwood, sea glass—through the versatile medium of metal clay and traditional metalsmithing techniques.

Come play soccer, shoot hoops, toss a ball, ride a scooter, play ping pong, or bring a (clean) scooter or strider bike to ride around on, and just be active! 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).

Sorry, NO roller skates, skateboards, or pedal bikes w/ brakes are allowed at this time.

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

When hunger weighs heavily, it’s hard to focus, hard to thrive, and hard to stay well. At the Anchor Point Food Pantry, we meet that need with empathy, respect, and cheerful hearts—because no one should have to face hunger alone. We provide a weekly food line and meals, monthly TEFAP commodities, holiday food boxes, summer produce, hungry kids' weekend meal packs and a kids' summer lunch bag program.

Have you seen the more than 100 pink flags flying around Homer and Anchor Point? They honor those who have experienced breast cancer and remind us that early detection - such as clinical breast exams and mammograms - saves lives.
Local businesses and individuals are sponsoring the flags to support access to breast cancer screening at KBFPC which provides reproductive healthcare regardless of ability to pay. If one of our volunteers missed you, please call KBFPC to find out about sponsorship.

SAVE THE DATE: Appointments for this year's low-cost blood tests will become available on October 1, 2025. Learn more at https://rotaryhealthfair.org/.
