Our October 2017 show will feature four Juneau painters. See the latest original work from Puanani Maunu, Constance Baltuck, Barbara Craver, and Natasha Zahn Pristas!
As the show title suggests, our guests are four friends that began painting together in Juneau many years ago. Even after Natasha moved away to Kodiak, they have maintained their Art Buddy relationship. The show celebrates that, and is bringing Natasha's work to Juneau for the first time in quite a while. The bonds of their Art Buddy system were formed in their neighborhood in the Flats of downtown Juneau and they are delighted to get together again here at home in Juneau!
The opening reception for the "Four Friends" show will take place on Friday, October 6, beginning at 4:30 pm.
