KACN Television Examples of Art & Media in Alaska

We are always looking for interesting videos to share on KACN Television!

Here are three examples of the sort of Alaska made interviews, music, and art we love to show on KACN Television.

The first third of this clip shows a conversational interview with ? & ? (please remind us–the web poster does not know).

The second third shows a clip of Milo Matthews playing an Amazing (!) multilayered bass jam, in a solo gig in Spenard, Anchorage.

And the third portion shows Jan discussing her unique Batique style of art.
