We had a really great First Friday featuring our own Katie Way and an artist that used to be with the Upstairs Studio, Julie Pachin, with their show called "Reclaim It!" featuring re-purposed pallet and scrap wood that they laboriously sawed, sanded and painted to create beautiful objects with a purpose for the home. From candle holders to headboards, it is a beautiful show. These art pieces will be up until early April so stop by to see them if you missed our First Friday. Also joining us was John Hagge with his beautiful vignettes of Alaska life, rendered in his acrylic paintings.

Marlee cannot make it in due to ice coated roads in the South part of town, so we won't be open for our reg. hours. She will be in when it's drivable, hopefully by noon, look for the open sign!!!
Sorry to cause any inconvenience!

The night was full of hearts and snow! We were happy to see so many Alaskans out and about at First Friday even if there was a storm. The gallery is full of beautiful hearts and valentines thanks to guest artist Erin Osinkosky as well as many challenge artist participants! We are now open Tuesday to Friday 10am to 2pm. Come on up and pick out a valentine for one you love!

"Work Alongside" sessions with Carol Lambert

This little painting (it's 6 x 8 inches) is what Carol Lambert was working on last Saturday, at Upstairs Studio, during her second "work alongside" session. You can come into the studio and, while you do your own work, Carol is available to give tips and comments to help you toward your goal. You can also watch her as she creates a still life painting from start to (nearly) finish. Cost is $40, in advance. The sessions are limited to 5 participants. If you would like to register, contact Carol at her email: carol@carollambertarts.com
