Gallery ʻIolani<\/span><\/a> at Windward Community College<\/a> proudly presents Communities, Disaster and Change<\/em>, an exhibition featuring 28 of Alaska’s finest artists addressing the theme of natural disasters and the effects on their communities.<\/p>\n

Communities, Disaster and Change<\/em> is a traveling exhibition coordinated by the Valdez Museum and Historical Archive<\/a> in Valdez, Alaska. Framed by the 50-year anniversary of the devastating Good Friday earthquake that struck Alaska on March 27, 1964, the exhibit showcases the art of 28 of artists from around Alaska. Each artist will show one piece, although some works contain multiple elements, such as diptychs and sculptural arrangements that address the theme of natural disasters’ effects on their communities.<\/p>\n
