This exhibition features six stunning artworks from the museum's permanent collection that reflect both the beauty of Alaska and a range of artists from Alaskan Master Sydney Laurence (1865-1940) to contemporary

Juneau artists. Inspired by the idea of slow looking, the Slow Art Day movement, and Patrick Bringley’s book 'All the Beauty in the World,' the practice of slow looking is meant to introduce elements of mindfulness, meditation, and “groundedness” or it can just be a way to relax or allow yourself to think more deeply. Visitors are invited to slow down and enjoy this exhibition. Free sketchbooks for reflecting and/or drawing will be provided in the gallery.

more from artist Rie Muñoz. She fell in love with Juneau while on a steamship tour of the Inside Passage in 1951, and gave herself one day — until the ship sailed again — to find a job and place to live. Muñoz was part of many Alaskan communities and held many job titles, including school teacher, before devoting her life to art full-time in 1972. In 2015, Rie passed on after 93 years of adventure, but not without leaving a legacy of art with

stories behind each piece. Her work is still carried by galleries all over Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.

Rie's work is still so accessible through her son, Juan Muñoz, who will be at the event.

First Friday opening only.

Their visual style is inspired by the maps at the beginning of fantasy books, and worlds like "Adventure Time" and "Over The Garden

Wall." Hillary Hunter draws fantastical landscapes in grayscale, Andrew Sutliff introduces colorful characters

inhabiting the map, and Matty Kok contributes four place-based poems rendered in calligraphy by Tanner

Tran.
