Stop by on Sunday 9/13 1-4 PM to visit with North Gallery artist Ted Kincaid who will be gallery sitting!

The Rebirth of Shipwreck is Kincaid’s first photography show. Though typically an event photographer, he leans into those familiar compositions as he explores his own recent trauma expressed with toys. By using action figures as the characters, Kincaid blends the weight of betrayal with the childish wonder, imagination and protection of a little boy’s bedroom. Nearly every scene is a hand diorama to help bring life into the narration of the healing journey.

As we move into the dark time of year, you are invited to submit works for inclusion in Cold Cuts, a curated group exhibition of winter collages that will be on view at the International Gallery of Contemporary Art in Anchorage, Alaska in February 2027.

Theme: Winter. We are looking for your interpretations. What does this season mean to you? Do you love it? Dread it? What colors, textures, feelings do you associate with winter? What imagery?

This exhibit is open to anyone, anywhere, and all analog collage methods will be considered. Artists can submit up to 3 collages for consideration. Submissions will be curated by Owen Tucker and Karinna Gomez.

Submission deadline is Friday, December 11, 2026, and artists will be notified of whether their work is accepted for inclusion in the exhibit by Friday, January 1, 2027. Artworks will then need to be delivered to the gallery by Friday, January 29, 2027.

Opening Friday 5-8 PM!

SOUTH GALLERY
S*X | Linda Lucky

This show S*X came about as my having an itch to create another art show at the IGCA and make it as playful as possible. I chose a controversial subject that asks the question what is sexy to you?

Life is very serious and as we age we need to play more. So get your sexy on and come down to the International to see this whimsical and lovingly prepared fun art show.

NORTH GALLERY �The Rebirth of Shipwreck | Ted Kincaid

How often do you find yourself falling back to a place of familiarity and comfort when confronted with adversity? For some of us it is further back than others. For some of us it is our childhood when we used our toys to make sense of the world. The Rebirth of Shipwreck is a narrative exploration of trauma, stumbling, healthy choices and healing through the lens of the artist's childhood. Not all paths are the same and not all paths lead to a destination.
