A note from the President of the BoardDear Members and Friends,

It has been an extraordinary year for KAAHC. Under the visionary guidance of our Executive Director, Kathleen Light, we were proud and thrilled to have Borough Mayor Dave Kiffer and our esteemed Assembly dedicate 2011 as the Year of the Artist. Endowed with a grant from the Ketchikan Gateway Borough, Victoria Lord, a former KAAHC Director, crafted an online Artist Registry (in itself, a work of art) to catalogue and showcase the individual artists and representatives of community organizations that together create our vibrant local culture. That honor will extend into the future with a mantra designated to reflect our abiding sentiment about our own First and Favorite City of Ketchikan - ART LIVES HERE!

Staying true to our mission ‘to create and promote opportunities for all community members to experience the arts’, we continued to provide performances, gallery exhibits, art walks and glorious extravaganzas, like our much loved and often imitated, Wearable Art Show. Never an organization to rest on its laurels but an organization intent on remaining relevant to our changing environment, we hosted a Community Café to solicit observations and opinions about our local arts scene from interested individuals. Board members and council staff acted as facilitators at this event held at the Crow’s Nest in January, 2012. We were all amazed and grateful for the plethora of comments we received. We discussed, analyzed, and ultimately distilled this information into several pages of values. These provided a platform for the Strategic Planning Session that we conducted two months later on March 17, 2012. Going forward we will evaluate and ultimately revitalize our organization with the essential priorities and transformative impact you have come to expect.

We are delighted to welcome two new members to our Board in 2012, Nancy Tietje and Anna Shaffer. These outstanding professionals will bring their expertise and enthusiasm to KAAHC. We are looking forward to incorporating their ideas for growth and participation as ambassadors of the organization.

We know that the sustainability of this organization depends on your generosity. We are so very appreciative of your active participation, financial support, and volunteer efforts. We thank you for partnering with us to insure that our community remains dynamic and our spirits continue to flourish.

Sincerely,Amanda Painter, PresidentKAAHC Board of Directors

A note from the Executive Director2011 – the Year of the Artist. A statement and a vision enabled by the Ketchikan Gateway Borough Assembly. Recognition of the power of the arts in and for Ketchikan by our municipal leadership is not just impressive, it is humbling. In a time when culturally iconic cities such as Milan, Italy are slashing support to cultural centers like La Scala Opera House by millions, Ketchikan decides it is the time to draw attention to its many artists through a year long celebration! What a statement to the artists and the many organizations that the arts are crucial to this community. In addition to the Year of the Artist, proclamation made by the Borough, the City of Ketchikan, through the manager, recognized that our new public library must include the character and ethos of Ketchikan, and the best way to accomplish that… public art. In the winter of 2011 the City asked the Arts Council to administer the public art process for the library through our committee – Ketchikan Public Art Works (KPAW).

KAAHC was also asked to administer a replacement piece of public art for the Salmon on the Creek. The Salmon on the Creek, a 10-foot long salmon commissioned in 1963 by the Tourism Committee of the Chamber of Commerce, was carved from red cedar and painted by Haida carver Jones Yeltatzie. Before it was mounted however, it spent a year or more “on the road,” displayed in Seattle, Portland, and San Francisco, several mid-western cities, and even the 1964 New York World’s Fair. On its return to Ketchikan, the sculpture was mounted near the Park Avenue Bridge, at the foot of the fish ladder. Over the years, the painted wood fish deteriorated. Twice, vandals threw it into the Creek. On the second occasion, about twenty-five years ago, it was taken to the Public Works warehouse. After drying out for a year or so, repairs were made by Ken Decker and the Streets crew. Large pockets of rot were removed and replaced by filler, reinforcing rods were inserted, and Mr. Decker carved a new tail. (The original had broken off.) Finally, the entire fish was coated with fiberglass, repainted, and mounted on a concrete pedestal below the lower falls of the Creek, where it remained until it’s removal at the end of September 2011. The two public art projects are affirmation that the municipal leadership is aware of the power of art in our community.

What does all this mean for the Arts Council? It means that the work we do must continue to be relevant and meaningful for the community. KAAHC cannot remain static. With that in mind, the Board of Directors put into motion a series of events designed to learn from the community how KAAHC is functioning – or perceived to function – within Ketchikan, and how we can further the positive influence of the arts in Ketchikan.

2012 has already been an extraordinarily busy year!!! But we are excited to move forward and to grow and learn! We hope you continue to take the ride with us!

Sincerely,Kathleen LightExecutive Director 5

Our Mission and Vision

MISSION:To create and promote opportunities for all community members to experience the arts.

VISION:The arts improve the quality of life in our community.

The Arts Council strongly believes, and vigorously advocates that the arts im-prove the quality of life in our community, not only through the obvious beauty and thought provoking nature of art, but also as an economic engine which our community can rely on. Our vision – The arts improve the quality of life in our community – is a statement that is bigger than our organization. It requires us to continually reinvent ourselves to be relevant and creatively cutting edge in order to keep the importance and value of the arts in our community’s consciousness and to help our community thrive with dignity.

STRATEGIC PLANNING:In 2011 the Arts Council implemented its new 3 year rotaing Presidency policy in which we maintain a Immediate Past President, a current President, and a Vice president. Along with that change the organizaiton began looking at our strategic planning for the future. As such, and with the awareness that in order to be relevant in our community the organization must be responsive, the Arts Council began plannign for a community conversation about the arts in Ketchi-kan. From that conversation the Board will then destgin a strategic plan for the next 3 to 5 years.

Our HistoryPrograms and staffing: the Ketchikan Arts Council was established 1953, and incorporated in 1970. In 1975, we had our first Blueberry Arts Festival. By 1980 a part-time executive director was hired and by 1981 the position became full-time. In 1982, by resolution of the Council of the City of Ketchikan, KAAHC was recognized as the official agency responsible for the advancement of the arts in the community. 1986 saw the origination of the first annual Wearable Art Fashion Runway Show. By 1987, growth in programs and services and an increase in KAAHC member involvement required the addition of a full-time administrative assistant, which was upgraded to a full-time program director position in 1990.

In 1998, the annual Gigglefeet Dance Festival was launched, in partnership with First City Players and Ketchikan Theatre Ballet. In recent years, the well-loved Wearable Art Show has expanded to three sell-out evening performances and an afternoon, all-ages show. This and other expansions of KAAHC programming necessitated adding a halftime office manager which became fulltime in 2001 (and upgraded to operations manager in 2004). 2001 saw the beginning of the Torch Nights Performing Arts Series which has included up to seven performances of professional artists from outside of Ketchikan annually. KAAHC is currently staffed by three full-time professionals.

Facilities: In 2008 KAAHC located and purchased a permanent home at 330 Main Street - the old Christian Science Church building. The purchase was made possible by splitting the long standing City grant for an arts center between the Arts Council, FCP and KTB, and a two month “speed capital campaign”. Grants from the Rasmuson Fundation, the M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust and the State of Alaska reimbursed the organization for almost all of the renovations. The 2009-2010 season was our first full season in the Main Street Gallery. 2011 saw the continuation of the Gallery used as a multi media space for two community dance events; Square Dance and BOOMbal, both monthly gatherings that bring 30 to 40 people to the Main Street Gallery.

Torch Nights Performing Arts SeriesOur performing arts series was created in 2001 and features an international roster of performers. It is the mission of the series to entertain and enlighten with a diverse array of world-class artists in a variety of genres and diverse cultural backgrounds. Funding for the series comes from season subscriptions and ticket sales with additional support from the Alaska State Council on the Arts, WESTAF, the Rasmuson Harper Touring grant, and hotel sponsorship from Cape Fox Lodge, Inn at Creek Street, and the Best Western Landing plus numerous local businesses that support the series through program advertisements. With continued cuts to our City grant, the budget for the 2011-2012 Season was significantly reduced from previous years. In order to maintain the high quality and variety in the season, as well as the number of performances, the Arts Council created new partnerships with local organizations to co-present events. Partnerships with the Monthly Grind for our Guy Davis presentation as well as with Sher and Bruce Schwartz for the Honky Tonk Habit performance were secured for the conclusion of the Season in 2011. Angie and the Car Wrecks were presented in partnership with KRBD Community Public Radio in October 2011.

In 2010, Season Tickets changed to Season Passes as we sought to work in smaller venues and eliminate empty front-row seats, and to increase income. This continued in 2011. The season pass included a reserved Wearable Art Show seat and could be used to receive $5 off any other ticket purchase for the Torch Nights Performance Series. Ketchikan area audiences enjoyed the following concerts by touring performing artists in 2011:• ART-i-cu-late: the 25th Annual Wearable Arts Show• Wearable After Party• Guy Davis• Hula!• The 13th Annual Gigglefeet Dance Festival• Careless Lovers• Angie and the Car Wrecks, Halloween Party presented with

Performing Artists in the Schools and CommunityKAAHC is committed to providing youth and all members of the community with first hand experiences with world-class artists as an integral part of our programming. We seek to inspire and educate the artists and performers of the future, and to encourage lifelong learning!

Community Outreach Programs in 2011:

• The Wearable Art Show Saturday Matinee allows first-time adult and youth artists to participate in the show. It is also a chance to showcase school and youth groups! Three groups participated this year and we’re proud that there are two Wearable Art Clubs started in our elementary schools. The Saturday Matinee also allows youth to attend the show. No alcohol is served, any acts deemed inappropriate for young audiences are removed, AND no late night! Ticket price is half the cost of evening performances- everyone can be a part of Wearable Art!

• Wearable Art Show grants also assist our community in participating in the Wearable Art Show- one is given to school and youth groups for supplies, the other is open to any artist for supplies. Awards are based on merit.

• Guy Davis came to Ketchikan in February of 2011 and he went to the Pioneer Home right away to play a 45 minute private concert for the residents. The audience of over 30 people were happy to see him and they even sang along!

• Hula! brought six dancers to Ketchikan in March of 2011. For their outreach they taught about 20 folks how “Pineapple, Mango and Coconut” to the music Hawaiin style. To follow up the performance the group had a Meet and Greet at the Ketchikan Coffee Company after the performance with about 40 folks joining them.

• Careless Lovers, a swing/dance band, visited in early October of 2011. During their visit they taught three partner dance classes in the Main Street Gallery. The first class was for beginning swing dance, the second a more advanced class, and then they provided a private class for a handful of particularly motivated couples. All in all they taught about 60 people in their outreach.

• Angie and the Car Wrecks in October, was the second time KAAHC has partnered with KRBD for an annual Halloween bash. Both organizations brought their constituents to help with decorating the Ted Ferry Civic Center. The organizations shared both the expenses and the as well as profits.

ART-i-cu-late: the 25th Annual Wearable Art Show

Created in 1986, the Wearable Art Show continues to grow as Ketchikan’s signature arts event. One-of-a-kind extravagant to allegorical wearable creations are made from traditional to salvaged materials, from hand-dyed fabric to pom-poms, metal to foam, duct tape, books, camera film cases and LOTS of glue. 2011 was the third year of Wells Fargo’s sponsorhip of the event and we are looking forward to a long relationship with them for many Wearables to come! In 2011, we again presented three evening Gala performances and an afternoon, all-ages performance. This is the fifth year we have maintained this schedule, and all four shows were sold out. We added an intermission to the show, which was appreciated by the audience. We plan to do it again in 2012. 2011’s performances featured standing room crowds, great art, great performances, and a wonderful evening out for 1600+ people in the community. It’s the signature art event for Ketchikan as well as our biggest fundraising event – over 200 volunteers help make it happen. In 2011 there were 52 entries including three youth group entries, worn by over 80 models and 90 participating artists. Part of the mission of the Wearable Art Show is to provide a creative and supportive environment which nurtures artists’ development. To further that mission, we offered two forms of wearable art grants. Supply grants assist artists in acquiring the supplies and tools necessary to fulfill their vision. Travel/shipping grants are available to foster a creative exchange among Ketchikan-area artists and artists from other regions by assisting with travel or shipping costs. For the 2011 performance, two grants were awarded. Creative exchanges with artists in other communities are increasingly frequent and we are glad to help other communities in Alaska develop this extraordinary art form.

In 2011 the fourth annual Wearable After Party took place after the final Saturday gala performance. This party is a chance for all the models, artists and audience members to celebrate their art and their success! It’s also a chance for additional fundraising with the Bizarre Bra Contest- attendees vote for their favorite bra creation with their dollars! The party was held in the lobby and conference room of the Cape Fox Lodge, where Wearable creations from the past adorned the walls and ceilings. The event was once again a success, and will surely continue to grow in future years! A BIG thanks to the KAAHC Board for their efforts to produce the After Party every year!

2011 Festivals & ExtravaganzasThe Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council presents three arts festivals annually. These festivals are a celebration of our arts community, and provide professional opportunities for area artists.

Festival of the NorthKetchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council coordinated the 2011 Festival of the North in cooperation with Ketchikan-area artists and arts organizations, and local businesses. This annual event showcases Ketchikan area arts organizations, featuring musicians, visual artists, dancers, and actors presenting a variety of performances designed to entertain the whole family.

The Winter Arts Faire This popular twenty-three year old holiday fine art and crafts fair presented annually by the Arts Council and held on Thanksgiving weekend at the Ted Ferry Civic Center and Cape Fox Lodge. The 2011 Faire was sponsored for

the fourth year by First Bank and featured a variety of artists and craftspeople selling quality handmade items. The fourth year of the kids “Crafts Room” was a hit, providing

a creative outlet and a chance for families to interact. For the fourth year in a row we had a holiday photo-booth. Families dressed in their finest, and received prints in time

for sending out as holiday cards! Caroling by the students from the Tongass School of Arts and Sciences and visits from Santa himself as well as Ma and Pa Christmas highlighted the event. KAAHC facilitated credit card use by shoppers for all booth holders, allowing more flexibility of sales. Again in 2011 we enjoyed a live choir performance by the newly formed Ketchikan Children’s Choir conducted by Tanya Antonsen. For the second year we used Cape Fox for additional booth space, added 16 more artists. In addition we featured Fawn Waterfield, creating free portraits of Winter Arts Faire attendees.

Gigglefeet Dance Festival The Gigglefeet Dance Festival, a community celebration of dance, is a collaboration of the Arts Council, First City Players, and Ketchikan Theatre Ballet. Surrounding the annual Blueberry Festival, it is held for two nights at the 832-seat Ketchikan High School Auditorium, with an extravaganza of diversity in movement presented by Ketchikan’s dance talents. The two dynamic performances encompassed an array of styles: jazz, ballroom, modern, hip hop, even some clowning!

The mission of the Gigglefeet Dance Festival is to strengthen the dance community by: 1. providing performance opportunities for both emerging and established dancers, choreographers, and technical theater personnel in the Ketchikan area2. providing a venue for the works of adult dancers and choreographers3. providing a supportive environment for a diversity of dance

forms, including works that are provocative and challenging, and4. encouraging participation and appreciation of dance, for artists and audiences alike, by presenting a broad variety of dance forms.

The Arts Council is extremely thankful for the generosity of Guardian Flight, the Main Street Gallery’s new sponsor of the 2011-2012 Main Street Gallery Season.

2011 was a tremendous year for KAAHC’s gallery- the beautiful newly-renovated church sanctuary turned gal-lery drew an unprecedented number of applications for the 2011-2012 Season. The gallery has been hailed by many art-ists as the best in the state! Our reputa-tion continues to grow, and shows are becoming more competitive. The gallery is available for rent for community events and programs. BOOMbal Dance

Hall and Square Dances take place monthly, and community performances, rehearsals, meetings and gatherings are taking place in the gorgeous space! Com-munity members also have a new opportunity to book and present in the new gallery space, available at an affordable rate, and able to seat 75 people.

Gallery Presentation SeriesStarting in the 2011-2012 Gallery Season, exhibiting artists and curators give a presentation in the gallery every month! Artists displaying work in the gallery choose the type of presentation, from “gallery walk-throughs” with the artist, to slideshows, demonstrations, and group art projects. The series has been popular and very well-received.

Artist Development WorkshopsBeginning in September of 2011, KAAHC offered a four-part workshop series to help local artists develop and refine their portfolios to become more competi-tive in seeking art opportunities in Ketchikan and beyond. The series included: 1. Web Marketing for Artists, 2. Web Portfolios and the Art Lives Here registry, 3. Digitally Photographing Your Artwork, 4. Call For Entry (Cafe), and a Show & (DON’T) Tell gathering where the artists showed their website to local gallery owners to understand if their site was self explanatory and compelling.

Art Outreach programsSince its inception, the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council has sought to stimulate understanding and appreciation of the arts by creating an enriching environment for Ketchikan area residents. The KAAHC has provided educational programs including the presentation of performances, exhibitions, festivals, workshops, and interdisciplinary arts education projects. The objectives of the KAAHC arts education programs and services are:

1. to provide access to the performing, visual, and literary arts, 2. to increase awareness of the historical and cultural background out of which different art forms emerge,3. to integrate art into the existing education curriculum and establish the significance of developing cross-curricula art activities for learning, and4. to expose area residents to emerging art forms, contemporary art as well as traditional art, and the work of area artists.

Ketchikan Public Art Works (KPAW)Founded in September 2006 as a task force of the Ketchikan Area Arts & Humanities Council, KPAW is a diverse group of local artists, business owners, and other like-minded individuals advocating for public art as a vehicle for increasing the quality of life for local residents while enhancing visitor experience, thus contributing to the town’s economic viability. KPAW also believes local residents will benefit from this experience with a healthy swelling of community identity and civic pride. In October of 2007 the City Council voted to award $150,000 for new Public Art in Ketchikan. In 2008 the Ketchikan Gateway Borough voted to contribute $50,000 to the bronze sculpture “The Rock” as well. Selected artists were Stephen Jackson, Dave Rubin and Cammie Walker. All three Public Art pieces have been installed.

KPAW is in the finishing stages of creating an organizing document which outlines the perview, responsibilites and expectations of KPAW and the Arts Council as well as the municipalities of our communtiy. With the completion of this document, roles will be more clearly defined between KAAHC, the City and the Borough. The document will provide a standardized mechanism for site selection, artist selection, maintenance responsibilities, deaccesion and removal criteria and responsibilities, private ownership of public art, and public art on private property. The KPAW Master Plan will be a crucial tool in the future of KPAW allowing our local governments to continue to support public art through a fair and well thoughout process.16

Page 17: Ketchikan Area Arts & Humanities Council Annual Report 2011

In 2011 the City of Ketchikan, in recognition of the power of the arts, invited the Arts Council to act as the administrative body to assist the City in acquiring public art for the new Ketchikan Public Library, and for a piece to replace the Salmon on the Creek. The Salmon was removed in the fall of 2011 because of extreme deterioration. It is currently awaiting its next resting place. A Request for Proposals was let for the Library pieces in February of 2012, and one will be released for the Creek location in April of 2012. The KPAW selection procedure will be used for art selection.

Art WalksThe KAAHC, in cooperation with Ketchikan downtown galleries and businesses, coordinates two Art Walks annually; one in December, the Winter Art Walk, and the Celebration of the Sea in May. These walks draw special attention to the visual arts and visual artists living in the Ketchikan area as well an introduction to visiting artists and different visual art forms. Demonstrating how integral arts are to the local economy, and generating revenue for local art businesses. Both art walks are well-attended and well-loved annual events. In 2011 KAAHC continued the much beloved “Blessing of the Fleet” along with various clergy, the Coast Guard, and the Ketchikan Fire Department during the Celebration of the Sea Art Walk.

KetchikanArtLivesHere.orgIn 2011, the Arts Council through the Ketchikan Gateway Borough project, “Year of the Artist”, created a new website that highlights Ketchikan’s many artists and arts organizations, as well as Ketchikan’s extensive public art collec-tion. The website KetchikanArtLivesHere.org, is not only for locals to go to, it is also for people who are visiting Ketchikan or learning about our community and what we have to offer.

Arts Council Email NewsletterThe newsletter distributes local arts news and features the activities of KAAHC member organizations, area artists, state and nationwide announcements of opportunities of interest to local artists, and includes a calendar of local arts and humanities related events. We have also added a personal touch with a member of the month, and an employee of the month section. There are 11 issues per year. The newsletter is a benefit of membership in KAAHC.

Arts This WeekThe Arts This Week is sent out to members at the beginning of each week. It is a continually-updated list of the events during the coming week, as well as up-coming events and opportunities. It is often redistributed by Sitnews, utilized by the Ketchikan Daily News, KRBD, KVB and often forwarded to large groups by our members. It is a great way to inform the community about the activities and events available in the arts and humanities. The Arts This Week is a benefit of membership in KAAHC.

Portfolio/Proposal Consultations: Part of the mission of the Main Street Gallery is to assist artists in portfolio preparation and professional development. To fulfill this mission, the Gallery Committee offers artists and curators individual consultations with a member of the Committee, and maintains a library of sample proposals. In 2011 members of the Gallery Committee gave approximately 3 consultations to artists who were compiling proposals for the 2011-2012 Main Street Gallery Season.

Sound EquipmentThrough a grant from the Rasmuson Foundation, KAAHC owns and is able to loan sound equipment to member and non-member events. Currently the equipment remains sufficient for the needs of the community but will soon need to be updated to be able to handle the needs of its users. Rental costs of the sound equipment is reduced for members of the Arts Council.

KAAHC Advisory CommitteesKAAHC Advisory Committees are volunteer arts organizations that have established a formal working relationship with the Arts Council, and operate under the non-profit and liability umbrella of the Arts Council. The goal is to pool our resources and expertise so that it’s as easy as possible for arts groups to present events, programs and give scholarships that enrich the arts community, without having to duplicate the administrative efforts. This is an important way that the Arts Council can foster the arts in Ketchikan in the coming years.

The Ketchikan Watercolor SocietyApril 12th through the 16th the Ketchikan Watercolor Society hosted water color artist Judi Betts. the workshops were well attended and Judy was able to provide several unusual opportunties for Ketchikan water colorists to stretch their talents!

The Monthly GrindIn their 22nd year, the Monthly Grind is organized by dedicated and energetic volunteers. By showcasing local talent, providing family entertainment and fabulous desserts for a reasonable price, the Grind attracts area residents to fill the Saxman Tribal House the third weekend of each fall, winter and spring month. They have made significant contributions to various national relief efforts, and to First City Players’ ARTSCool Scholarship Fund.

The Old Bar Harbor Caledonia Society This relatively “old” group has been readily embraced by Ketchikan for its celebration of the Scottish bard Robbie Burns (the 12th annual celebration in 2011)—a festive dinner featuring highland dancing, poetry, song, piping and… the fine cultural culinary institution of haggis. The organizing committee has a strong commitment to fostering the Scottish dance and music community of Ketchikan with the proceeds from their events.

The Sam Pitcher Memorial FundSeming “Sam” Pitcher was a gifted young man who was active in the various music programs available in Ketchikan. His family and friends have set up a memorial scholarship fund in his name to award the Sam Pitcher Music Scholarship. The purpose of the fund is to provide money to deserving local youth to help them attend summer music camps or programs such as the ones Sam was able to attend. The Fund was started in 2003 with the goal of establishing a permanent scholarship fund. Scholarships have been awarded annually since with seven scholarships in 2011. Tax-deductible contributions can be made to the Sam Pitcher Memorial Scholarship Fund c/o the Arts Council.

Sweet Second SaturdaysSweet Second Saturdays (SSS) began in 2004 and sponsors a monthly folk dance featuring contra, square and circle dances for all ages. In 2011 Sweet Second Saturdays made the decision to dissolve and donate their remaining funds to the Ketchikan Medieval and Renaissance Society.

KAAHC Member OrganizationsKAAHC offers administrative services, technical assistance, grant writing, office equipment, a ticket outlet, a communication center, and publishes a monthly newsletter to promote the activities of artists and arts organizations in the area. These organizations offer a variety of year-round participatory programs and entertainment. It is through these groups that everyone in the Ketchikan area has an opportunity to enjoy the arts as an audience member, participant, or professional artist.

First City Players First City Players is Ketchikan’s not for profit community theater organization, entertaining area audiences with musicals, comedies, and fine drama over the past 47 years. Since 2002 FCP has been attracting record crowds to their events at KAYHI. FCP uses alternate venues such as the Plaza Mall, Cape Fox Lodge and the Ted Ferry Civic Center with great success. First City Players receives grant funding from the Alaska State Council on the Arts, the National Endowment

In June of 2009, First City Players and Ketchikan Theatre Ballet purchased the old Elks/Fireside building located on Main Street. The building will be the new home of both organizations, holding four ballet studios, a flexible performance space, offices and storage for both organizations. The Performing Arts Center will be available for all performance groups in Ketchikan.

Friends of the Ketchikan Public LibraryThe Friends of the Ketchikan Public Library is a nonprofit volunteer organization dedicated to the promotion of excellent library service in the greater Ketchikan area. As a group, they raise funds, provide volunteer services, and endeavor to raise community consciousness of the library’s importance. The Friends’ main fund-raiser is an annual book sale every fall. Money earned from this event goes directly to the local library to purchase needed equipment, extraordinary books, prizes for the summer reading program, and much more! The Friends also sponsor the Blueberry Arts Festival “Trivia Contest.” The Ketchikan Public Library is in the process securing funding and building their new home and the Friends will be there to help!

The Ketchikan Community Concert BandKCCB began in 2002 in order to provide an ongoing opportunity for adults to rehearse and perform together in a concert band setting, and to develop an active pool of adult instrumental musicians to draw from for special community needs, such as musicals, community choral events and civic

21

occasions. In the fall of 2006, the band became an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The KCCB maintains a membership of about fifty-five musicians in 2011. They rehearse weekly and present three concerts annually.

Ketchikan Community Chorus2011 was another productive year for the Ketchikan Community Chorus, with their annual Steppin’ Out performance in the spring ,and their holidya concert inDecember. Also in 2011 the Ketchikan Community Chorus invtied two Koto Players from Japan to perform with the chorus in a fundraising concert for the Tsunami victims. New members are welcome to join weekly rehearsals at 7:00pm on Tuesdays at the Presbyterian Church on Second Avenue.

Ketchikan Museum DepartmentThe Ketchikan Museum Department continues to work with the KAAHC in promoting art and cultural activities in the Ketchikan area. 2011 exhibits at the Tongass Historical Museum included: Still Raining - Still Dreamin’, an exhibit of the photography of Hall Anderson; Our Town; Otto Schallerer: Alaska Photographer

The Totem Heritage Center continues to offer a model Native Arts Studies Program dedicated to the continuation, promotion, and protection of Northwest Coast Native Arts. This program offers a Certificate of Merit program in Northwest Coast Carving, Northwest Coast Weaving, and Northwest Coast Regalia.

Ketchikan Theatre BalletThe Ketchikan Theatre Ballet had another great year in 2011, continuing their formula of three major performances a year: An Evening of Dance during the Festival of the North, the Spring Gala, and their holiday favorite, Nutcracker. KTB also collaborates with KAAHC and First City Players in sponsoring the Gigglefeet Dance Festival during the Blueberry Arts Festival.

Rainy Day QuiltersThe Rainy Day Quilters goals are twofold: they meet monthly in order to foster the thriving quilting community, and sponsor local workshops and classes with nationally known instructors which are open to the public. They also do a great deal of community service projects. Since 1992, the quilters have coordinated an annual show for the community of over 200 beautiful quilts, from contemporary to antique, during KAAHC’s Festival of the North. A quilt is raffled at this event, and during KAAHC’s Blueberry Arts Festival. They also participate in the Winter Arts Faire.
