Kenai Art Center

For some people, being outdoors can be as much about wondering as wandering. That’s the theme for a new nature-inspired painting and pottery exhibit at the Kenai Art Center, which is coupled with a metalwork show.

"Melba Muskrat’s Big Heart" is a hero-villain tale that teaches children about forgiveness and understanding. It was illustrated by a 2025 Soldotna High School graduate.

Nearly 60 pieces of art made by women is the subject of this month’s main installment at the Kenai Art Center. It's coupled with a mini mural show.

Art isn’t just for grown ups. The Kenai Art Center is hosting its annual Kenai Peninsula Borough School District student art show, which teachers say helps advocate for art programs in local schools.

Art is often infused with different mediums, or can cause an infusion of emotions. The Kenai Art Center is taking advantage of this theme in this month’s installation, titled “Infusion.”

Some people associate wool, silk and other fibers with household items. But a new installation at the Kenai Art Center shows its purpose goes beyond everyday use.

This month’s installation at the Kenai Art Center is focused on pieces that create the illusion of movement.

Muralists at the Kenai Art Center have been hard at work this month applying coats of paint to a continuous roll of canvas. The center’s annual mural show blends over 20 individual paintings to form a large, communal work of art.

Patrons of the Kenai Art Center this month may find themselves whisked away to familiar locales of the Kenai Peninsula. On view are a number of colorful and detailed paintings that were created after a life-changing diagnosis.

As colors around the Kenai Peninsula begin to change, the Kenai Art Center is changing a few things of its own. On view this month are two new art installations, one of which is a fundraiser the art center’s never had before.
