‘Brassieres to Nowhere’ auction is Oct. 13

WASILLA — The Dorothy G. Page Museum’s “Brassieres to Nowhere” art exhibit will hang through Oct. 13.

The third-annual exhibit features bra-inspired art pieces created by local artists in various categories, including mixed-media, sculpture and fiber arts. Many of the artists also have chosen to donate their pieces to the third annual Masquerade and Bra Auction at the museum from 6 to 8 p.m., Oct. 13. Tickets cost $10 per person or $15 per couple, and are available at the museum, 323 N. Main St. All proceeds from the auction go to support the local breast cancer group, Casting for Recovery.

“Every year we have creative and beautiful works of art,” said curator Bethany Buckingham. “This year we have three entries from an artist in North Carolina. Her sister lives here in Wasilla and she learned about our event through her.”

Some of the artwork on display includes a cabbage bra titled “Support Alaska Agriculture” by Palmer resident Richard Estelle. Another piece from the local women’s flat track roller derby team, The Denali Destroyer Dolls, is titled “Casting for a Cure” and features a pink fishing rod and a beaded salmon.

The Dorothy G. Page Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday to Friday. For more information, call 373-9071 or visit cityofwasilla.com/museum.
