Juneau artist Alec Dye will open the Alaska State Museum's fall and winter sketching series Saturday, Oct. 10, sharing a sketching process from 1:30 to 3:30 pm, followed by open sketching.

Sketching in the Museum meets every second and fourth Saturday through the 2026-27 season, each time with a different Juneau guest artist. The next session is Oct. 24.

Sessions are free for museum members and by donation for everyone else, and no registration is needed. Drawing materials from graphite and colored pencils to pastels, watercolor, gouache and silverpoint, a centuries-old technique of drawing with a metal stylus, are welcome.

The Friends of the Library, Archives and Museum sponsors the series with the museum.
