The Arts in Homer,
Alaska
What shall I choose tonight?
You
won’t have to ask yourself "is there anything to do
tonight"? but rather "what shall I choose tonight".
Homer provides opportunities for everyone to
experience and participate in the arts. Listed in
John Villani's book 'The 100 Best Small ART TOWNS in
America” Homer is known as Alaska’s Art Capital and
for good reason.
Throughout
the year you will find yourself making choices
between performance, visual and literary art. A wide
variety of local organizations and community members
offer theatre, dance and music. World-class art
galleries and artist studios abound in our
community. Most galleries participate in the monthly
'1st Friday' which often includes an opportunity to
meet the artists, and participate in a discussion of
their work.
Local
museums and interpretive centers bring natural
history and native culture alive with state of the
art technology and award winning exhibits. Do you
love the literary arts, poetry or fiction? Authors
have lots of opportunities including small local
writers groups and workshops, community-wide writing
contests, an annual writers conference and small,
impromptu meetings with visiting authors.
Visit Homer, it’s an ARTRAGEOUS place to play!
