 A Note From Shannon

 

Here at ASCA we believe that buying local is an important way to support our communities. When we buy local we increase the impact of our dollars by keeping the money within our communities and within the state. Locally owned businesses are crucial to the health of our communities, not only because of their economic impact but also because they are committed to working within the community to strengthen it. But . . . what's better than buying local? Buying local ART!

 

As the holiday gift-giving season is in full swing, we are taking this opportunity to feature a number of local businesses that highlight and sell Alaskan art and creative goods. A number of these communities are also organizing "cash mobs" to highlight a local store in their town.

 

What is a cash mob? Basically, it's a flash mob that assembles people at a specific location to buy goods from a local store, rather than to sing or dance, which is what flash mobs typically do. You can see a recent Today Show clip that explains how they work.

 

The cash mobs will all occur on Saturday, December 15th at 1:00 p.m. The communities that have organized cash mobs are:

 

Fairbanks

Well Street Art Company at 304 Well Street, 907.452.6169, http://www.wellstreetart.com/.

 

Kodiak

Alutiiq Museum, 215 Mission Road #101, 907.486.7004, http://alutiiqmuseum.org/.

 

Valdez

Harbor Landing General Store, 130 S Meals # 100, 907.835.2331.

 

So, if you live in one of these communities, please plan to show your support for artists and the creative economy on Saturday, December 15th!  

 

If you do not live in one of these communities and still want to support local artists and arts businesses, below are some good places to check out. These stores do not currently have a cash mob planned, but we encourage you to organize one if you can!

 

Anchorage

Octopus Ink, 410 G Street, 907.333.4657, http://www.octopusinkclothing.com/

Juneau Arts and Humanities Council, 350 Whittier, Suite 101, 907.586.2787, http://jahc.org/

This is by no means a complete list of shops that feature Alaskan artwork throughout the state, but these were provided to us in response to a request that ASCA sent to local arts councils. We did this as a quick experiment on galvanizing the arts community around buying locally. We hope to expand this in the future, so if you'd like to be involved, please let us know. Also, if you have shops you'd like to highlight, or if you'd like to organize a cash mob in your community, please let us know on our facebook page at: www.facebook.com/ArtsAlaska! 

 

Agriculture to Art
Produce Local Buy Local

 

Are you are an Alaska fiber producer, fiber artist, or have interest in the use and availability of locally grown and processed Alaska natural fibers? The Agriculture to Art: Alaska Fiber Production Conference committee needs your input to determine how to best respond to your interests. The group is investigating the best organizational structure to: pursue fiber producer resources, identify fiber markets and opportunities, and connect and serve fiber producers and end users across the state. Their core goals are to establish a statewide network of Alaska fiberphiles and determine the most effective way to develop an economically sustainable in-state animal fiber processing facility. Please consider completing these surveys to help them to build a local fiber economy!
