Bunnell Street Arts Center invites you to paint a commemorative art plate for the 32nd Annual Plate Project fundraiser. Paint during gallery hours, Mon-Sat 11-5 pm. Supplies are provided. Bunnell staff offer instruction and tips.
Every year dozens of Alaskan artists create unique art plates for Bunnell’s Plate Project. Bisqued, handmade ceramic plates made by local potters become canvases for brilliant food-safe underglazes. Plate painters are artists, community members, and Bunnell supporters — anyone committed to crafting an excellent plate that will raise essential operating support for the mission and programs of Bunnell Street Arts Center. Plates are exhibited at the Plate Project Opening in May (TBD) and competitively selected by new and renewing Bunnell members in thanks for $125 to $1000+ donations.
Painters may paint in-person during gallery business hours. This project welcomes adult and older teen artists, but requires a devotion to detail and a commitment of time to create a quality art plate. Painted plates are due back Tuesday, April 1, 2026. Contact Brianna Lee, b.lee@bunnellarts with any questions.
