SUMMARY:Emma Hill: A Homecoming Concert
DESCRIPTION:Please join The Palmer Arts Council in welcoming to back to Palmer\, Emma Hill. It has been far too long since Emma has performed in her hometown\, and were excited to host her in concert at one of the most iconic Palmer venues\, Vagabond Blues! \nSince 2007\, Emma Hill has been creating and performing original music in a professional capacity. Her latest full-length album is called Park Songs. Nature is one of the biggest inspirations in her writing\, leading her to immerse herself in natural spaces to fuel her creativity. Growing up in the small Alaskan village of Sleetmute and traveling worldwide\, Emma has worked hard to establish herself as a force in the music world. Her albums have received national recognition\, and she has toured both nationally and internationally. \nHer current project\, Bird Songs\, explores the intersection of music\, nature\, and climate awareness. Initiated during an artist residency at Studio 88 near Chiang Mai\, Thailand\, the project incorporates isolated birdsongs from Thailand and Alaska as musical prompts\, weaving them into compositions that address themes of climate change\, existential crisis\, and the human experience. With Bird Songs\, she emphasizes climate grief and the urgency of appreciating the natural world as it exists today. \nSplitting her time between writing and working within the local Anchorage music scene\, Emma remains dedicated to keeping music alive wherever she goes\, fostering artistic communities and sharing her love of storytelling through song. \nAdmission:\n$20 General Admission\n$15 PAC Members and Students

SUMMARY:2026 Fall Studio Tour
DESCRIPTION:The Palmer Arts Council will be hosting our second yearly artist studio tour this October! We had so much fun connecting our community to our local artists and businesses last fall that we want to do it again!\nThis event is a self-guided tour of Palmer area artists studios and local downtown businesses who will be hosting artists without a Palmer art studio location. Participants will be given an event map and will tour the participating locations at their own speed.\nStay tuned as artists and locations are finalized. This year we are increasing our tour to ten stops you can make\, with even more artists planned than last year! As you move from space to space you will have the opportunity to connect with local artists\, learn about their creative process\, enter a few of their working spaces\, and purchase art you love!\nEach stop will have appetizers and beverages to enjoy. The last hour will be a final party at Lekker where everyone will gather and raffle prizes will be drawn.\nTickets will be available for purchase starting September 1st. The cost is $30 general admission and $20 for PAC members. Tickets will be limited to 150 participants so you will want to purchase your ticket before the event fills up!\nWe hope to see you at this fun night of supporting the PAC and celebrating artists in Palmer!
