PHOTOGRAPHY
'Rarefied Light' promises to awe
"Rarefied Light" awes and surprises onlookers every year. The annual show of photography features work by Alaskan artists such as Linda Smogor, who won best of show this year for "Deva and Her Beach Towel," a black-and-white photograph of a wide-eyed child clutching a Marilyn Monroe beach towel.
This year's call for entries generated 388 submissions from 77 photographers, and juror David Hilliard chose 63 of those works. A photographer and assistant professor at the Massachusetts College of Art in Boston, Hilliard has won numerous awards including Fulbright and Guggenheim grants. A show of his work will appear with "Rarefied Light."
Check out this year's exhibit from 6 to 8 tonight at the opening reception at the Anchorage Museum at Rasmuson Center, 121 W. Seventh Ave. (www.anchorage museum.org). The show continues through Dec. 28 before heading to Kenai/Soldotna and Cordova.
The Alaska Photographic Center hosts the show. Find out more at www.akphotoctr.org.

VISUAL ART
'Perspectives' and MINIs
A group show of contemporary Alaska Native artists continues in "Perspectives" at the International Gallery of Contemporary Art this month. Young and old, men and women, carvers and painters, sewers and sculptors all appear in this exhibit of drawings, paintings, sculptures and multimedia work in this partnership between the Alaska Native Arts Foundation and the International Gallery.
The show includes works by Perry Eaton, Lena Amason, Gretchen Sagan, Da-ka-xeen Mehner and many more.
The gallery also hosts another group show called "MINIs" along with an exhibit of paintings by Lesley Harrison, a former Alaska resident who now lives in Scotland. The work in "Ways of Seeing" explores the tactile aspect of paintings through materials such as glue, cardboard, wood chips, staples and other objects.
All three shows continue through Nov. 30 at the gallery, 427 D St. (www.igcaalaska.org).
