Gull Island 2018

By

Spring has arrived! After a bit of a late start, the Gull Island camera is up and running! Come by the museum to control this live remote controlled camera, or watch the feed on YouTube. This year we replaced the camera unit itself, upgraded much of the wiring terminals, and replaced a component of the charging system, so things should be much more reliable!

Thanks to Seldovia Native Association, Bay Excursions, Jason Sodergren, and SpitwSpots.

 

Calls for 2068

By

As the Pratt Museum looks back on 50 years of collecting community history, we also look to the future to ask what we will collect over the next 50. How do you envision our community and our museum in 2068?

As part of two concurrent exhibits curated by Sharlene Cline, The Pratt Museum is inviting the community to contribute to this conversation:

  • Call for submissions: Ties Us Together
    What are the activities that tie our community together? How would you represent our community to an audience in 2068? Submit a photo of one activity that ties us together! No description necessary. Deadline:

    • mages submitted through July 1, 2018 will be part of a large, progressively growing collage.
Join us for Kachemak 2068 and Ties Us Together May 4 – July 1, 2018!

2018 Quilt Raffle Winners

By

The whimsical and dynamic “Moosin’ Around” quilt has found a new home! Congratulations to Paul Kelly of Severna Park, Maryland, winner of the 2018 annual quilt raffle. Shirley Fedora of Homer, Alaska took home the bonus wall-hanging quilt this year, titled “Swamp Rose”. The Pratt Museum’s annual quilt raffle is made possible through the incredible teamwork and generosity of the Kachemak Bay Quilters, who imagine, create, and donate a large raffle quilt each year; and the Patrons of the Pratt Society (POPS), for organizing the raffle each year. We appreciate our amazing partners and thank everyone who purchased tickets. This year’s quilt raised $4,113, which will be used to benefit Museum programs in 2018. We can’t wait for the unveiling of the next quilt in May 2018, just in time for the Museum’s 50th anniversary!
