July 1 – October 2, Boreal Birch: Art and Science in the Northern Forest will feature work by three of Alaska’s best known artists—Margo Klass, Barry McWayne, and Kesler Woodward—who have worked together for two years with University of Alaska Fairbanks scientist Kimberley Maher to produce this exhibition exploring Alaska’s birch trees from a variety of perspectives. In their paintings, photographs, and mixed-media sculpture, the three artists “talk” with one another and with their scientist partner about birches, presenting this signature feature of the boreal forest as image, symbol, and natural element. Opening Reception Friday, July 1st 5:00 – 7:00 PM.
