🎨 This Thing We Call the Ocean – The Pioneer Bar’s First Ever Art Show
đź“Ť Pioneer Bar, Sitka, Alaska
đź“… Opening June 21st at 3PM | On display through July 6th
Pioneer Bar is temporarily trading its legendary wall décor for something new: a deeply personal collection of paintings titled "This Thing We Call the Ocean." This powerful new art show by retired Alaskan Salmon Troller and painter Stephen Lawrie, curated by Maite Lorente, is a tribute to the ocean that defines us, the fishermen that feed us, and the complex relationship between wild nature and the people who depend on it. Join us for the opening event at 3pm on Saturday, June 21st. We will have food and wine tastings as well!
This show is hosted by Chris Heim and the Pioneer crew, and proudly sponsored by Roger & Mary Hames and the Sitka Conservation Society! Some of these works were created during a wild off-grid residency at Sitka Conservation Society’s Sea Pony Farm deep in the Tongass.
More than an art exhibit, This Thing We Call the Ocean is a call to conversation: a space where visitors and locals, artists and anglers, environmentalists and skeptics can find common ground. It’s a reminder that our future—like our past—is shaped by this thing we call the ocean.
