The Plate Project has been an artist-led community effort since 1995 and is Bunnell Street Arts Center's keystone fundraiser. Every year, dozens of talented Alaskan artists create one-of-a-kind art plates for this special fundraiser. Local potters craft handmade ceramic plates, which then become canvases for stunning, food-safe underglazes. These plates are lovingly painted by artists, community members, and dedicated Bunnell supporters – all committed to creating beautiful pieces that raise crucial operating support for Bunnell's mission and programs across Alaska.

✨ How it Works: ✨
Plates are exhibited at the opening reception on May 22nd.
