The Confluence Series at the SOVA Gallery is a community exhibition series which offers a space for KIAC members working in any medium to exhibit their artwork throughout the summer months. The SOVA Gallery is located in the Yukon School of Visual Arts at 3rd and Queen in Dawson City and is open on Saturdays from 1-4pm.

Expanded Field is a new studio-based course at SOVA, offered for the first time in the winter of 2022. Over the course of the semester eight local artists worked to develop new projects and independent studio practices, while participating in student-led seminars and group critiques. Expanded Field students had dedicated studio space at SOVA, access to SOVA facilities, and support from SOVA faculty members.

The Expanded Field Exhibition features works by Amy Ball, Ange Bonnici, Angela Edmonds, Basia Hinton, Annie Kierans, Jenni Matchett, Andy Pelletier, and Bo Yeung

Youth Art Enrichment

Youth Art Enrichment is an annual four-day art program for Yukon youth hosted by the Klondike Institute of Art & Culture in Dawson City. Artistically-inclined youth ages 14 – 18 travel from across the Yukon to take part in intensive workshops led by professional artists. Students choose one of three mediums to study for the duration of the program, learning new skills, techniques, and ways to creatively make artwork for the world to see. The mediums change every year: we have offered printmaking, animation, painting, carving, stained glass, illustration, improv, and much more over the last two decades.
