First Friday at the PRATT – Special Exhibition Opening

SPECIAL EXHIBITION OPENING

Friday, February 6 | 4-6pm (Yes! This is a First Friday.)

Join us in welcoming 50 Years of Limited Entry: The Closing of Alaska’s Salmon Commons to it’s new temporary home here in Homer! There will be drinks & light refreshments.

50 Years of Limited Entry examines the origins and effects of the Limited Entry Program in Alaska. As much a social engineering program as a conservation effort, the story of Limited Entry is both instructive and cautionary. In addition to the 50 Years of Limited Entry exhibit panels, this exhibition will feature art, photographs, and materials from the Pratt Museum’s permanent collection.

In honor of the exhibit, the Pratt Museum will host a Curator Talk on Saturday, February 7, featuring a presentation by Executive Director of the Kodiak Maritime Museum and exhibit designer, Toby Sullivan, followed directly by a community conversation session in which all guests are welcome to share their own experiences with the Limited Entry Program in Alaska.

The Pratt Museum’s new special exhibition will open in the Main Gallery on January 9, 2026 and be on display through May 17, 2026.
