Member’s Access: Open Studio Sessions
Dates: October 13th – November 24th, 2025
Location: ODD Gallery, Dënäkär Zho | KIAC
Indigenous Territory: Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory, Dawson City, Yukon
For the next three weeks, the ODD Gallery transforms into a shared studio space.
Member’s Access invites KIAC members to use the gallery for short creative residencies — from a few days to a few weeks — to make, experiment, and connect with other artists in an open and supportive environment.
This is a time for process, play, and possibility.
The gallery becomes a living workspace rather than a traditional exhibition.

About Member’s Access
Member’s Access is an open invitation for KIAC members to use the ODD Gallery as creative space between formal exhibitions.
Artists and community members can book short residencies to make, test, document, or share their work in the gallery.
Use the space privately for your own production, or open it up for small public events like screenings, readings, or discussions. Whether you’re experimenting with new materials, rehearsing a performance, or photo-documenting your artwork, Member’s Access gives you time and space to focus on your creative process.
Member’s Access is:
- Independent: artists self-produce their work or activity.
- Supported but self-sufficient: KIAC may offer basic equipment, orientation, and social media sharing, but participants handle their own setup, promotion, and cleanup.
- Open and flexible: bookings are available to KIAC members for 3–5 days at a time on a first-come, first-served basis.
Whether you’re an emerging artist or a long-time Dawson local, Member’s Access is your opportunity to take over the gallery – for a few days or weeks at a time – and make it your own.
