Great night last presenting our new pieces of Art in the Library. Patti Skondovitch donated 2 of her husband, Alfred's oil painting.
We had a wonderful ceremony with Fairbanks Artist Dave Mollet (who knew Alfred), David Guttenberg (who helped write the AK Legislature Proclamation) and Jessica Zaydak Mangold (who is doing her thesis on Alfred's work).

Stop by the library to see all these new pieces plus all the other amazing pieces of art.
