AT THE END OF THE ICE AGE
| \n David Rosenthal has painted glaciers for the last 48 years. From the Arctic to Antarctica, his work chronicles the retreat of glaciers and sea ice. At the End of the Ice Age documents the effects of climate change within one lifetime. For this exhibition, Rosenthal worked with a group of scientists from around the world to create interpretive panels that accompany his paintings. \n\nAt the End of the Ice Age runs through March 30, 2024 \n | \n
ALASKA POSITIVE
Now in its 53rd year, Alaska Positive is a juried photography exhibit featuring entries from across the state. Alaska Positive runs through March 9, 2024. It then travels to museums around Alaska.
