What does it look like when we put love first in all that we do? Akela Space is seeking art submissions for a group show in February 2027. “a love ethic," inspired by bell hooks’ "all about love” is a show dedicated to community care and living with love in mind. It celebrates the many ways that love can present itself in our lives, through friendship, family, community, romance, and self.

Artists of all skill levels and of all mediums are welcome. Apply at the link below!

You still have a chance to see Alyssa Quintyne’s exhibition during gallery hours this month and she'll be coming back to Anchorage for an Artist Talk on October 25th.

Alyssa Quintyne is a Bajan-American community organizer, political researcher, multidisciplinary artist, and musician based in Fairbanks, AK. Her parents immigrated to the US from Barbados in the 1980s, Alyssa being born in the States in the 1990s. She and her parents were later stationed to Alaska, where she has remained since. She is painter, working primarily in watercolor and ink. Her work centers the Black femme experience through grief and spirit. Focusing on portraits and figure, she offers the invitation for her peers to be understood and liberated in a world that does not.
