Unalaska, AK – The 15th annual Unalaska Community Art Show opens Saturday at the Museum of the Aleutians.

The exhibition is sponsored by the Aleutian Arts Council, and except for a two-year hiatus has been held annually since 1991. The show includes pieces by about 30 local artists, working in a wide range of styles. Curator Carolyn Reed said that getting the diverse material to mesh in the gallery setting is a challenge.

"I've been installing shows, and curating and coordinating them for 25 years, and I have to say this show is the most challenging," she said. "We get native traditional arts, we get minimalism, we get organic types of pieces, documentary photography, metal sculptures, everything. And we have basically one week to figure out how to make it have a real fluid look."

The show is non-juried, which means anyone who wants to can enter a piece. Reed said that there are many returning artists, but always a few new faces as well.

"Every year we have two or three newcomers, and we're very pleasantly surprised," she said. "So you never really know what you're going to get."

The show will open at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Museum of the Aleutians. It will be on display until May 19.
