University of Alaska Fairbanks officials say a new art exhibit opening next week will feature the work of an artist with autism.
The exhibit, called “From Thomas The Tank Engine To The White Pass,” is scheduled to open Monday at the UAF art department gallery in the Fine Arts Building.
The exhibit will run through Oct. 25.
Officials say the opening will include a reception and premiere screening of “Basically Me,” a 10 minute film about artist and UAF employee Ryan Matthews.
Officials say both Matthews and the maker of the film, Leonard Kamerling, are scheduled to attend the opening and will be available for discussion after the film premiere.
