Special Notice: Out North temporarily suspends normal operations.
July 29, 2013 (Anchorage, AK) – The Out North Board of Directors suspended normal
operations at Out North temporarily due to concerns about financial sustainability. The
suspension is effective today. Four full-time and two part-time employees have been laid off
effective immediately.
The board of directors will work over the coming months to conduct a full assessment of the
organization, its finances and long-term options. Members of the board will also meet with
other, independent users of Out North to workout continued use arrangements.
“We took this unfortunate step because the board saw no other option for meeting the shortterm
financial needs of the organization,” said Board President Chrissy Bell. “Out North’s
financial condition is simply unsustainable at this time.”
Our hope is that Out North will open its doors again to the community. In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and continued support as we work through this difficult time.
A detailed plan is being developed to guide the assessment phase. More information will be
shared as it becomes available.
Please check back for updates on Season 29 and scheduled performances.
Roman Rubio-Savoie brings artists and scienctists together from around the world to have a conversation on the most imporant issues today. The exhibition is a bridge between artist and scientist; where speculations on where we are today and how we got here, are used as the subjects, images and titles for the works. The human impact on the planet, the wars we wage against one another, population increases, agricultural advances, disease emergence, resource depletion, famine, and cloning are some of the many issues covered in this cross disciplinary discussion.

A Note from the curator:
Since I’ve moved here, I’ve felt the intimidating pressure of the masculine spirit throughout the state, from the jobs that are offered to the ways in which we prepare for the long winters. We have to wade through the constant tide of favoritism for the masculine in not just Alaska but throughout the lower 48. This show flips off masculinity in favor of the feminine.
