Art Show Up At

Pioneers Home

The Sitka Pioneers Home will host “The Ugly Side of Plastic” art show through June 25. Show hours are 9 a.m.-4 p.m. weekdays in the recreation/kitchen room located in the basement.

More than a dozen local artists, including Norm Campbell, Pat Kehoe, John Straley and Libby Stortz, have contributed pieces that examine how plastic is affecting the environment. Art also showcases ways people can use less one-time-use plastic.

Local art related to the theme and other locations for showings are still being sought. Artists and venues interested may contact Michelle at 747-2708 to participate. The show will be displayed throughout the year at various locations and events. The exhibition is supported by Bags for Change, a local volunteer group interested in reducing plastic pollution.
