2023 Festival Art Designer

Festival Partner:The Net Loft

The Net Loft has a storefront on at 140 Adams Avenue in downtown Cordova, and carries a wide variety of yarn, needlework, scrapbook, papercraft & handcraft supplies, as well as a selection of fine gifts, jewelry & chocolates. Many of their products reflect and are reminiscent and influenced by the incredible beauty of the natural setting of this coastal town nestled in the Chugach Mountains. Most importantly, it is their hope and desire to not only provide quality materials for creativity, but to also create a welcoming environment for the collective learning and sharing of creative pursuits among friends. We are grateful for their partnership with our festival, providing some amazing creative outlets for festival participants.

Alyssa Pappas

My name is Ally and I was born and raised in the greater Seattle area. Two years ago, my husband and I moved to Cordova, sight unseen, for his job - and we are so thankful that we did. We absolutely love this small, beautiful community and everything Wild Alaska has to offer. Needless to say, the inspiration for my designs are everywhere, from the mountains, to the rivers and forests - I just had to step outside and look around.  Thank you, Cordova, for opening your arms and accepting us as a part of your community, we are so grateful! (Shout out to my Nana, who is the most caring and supportive person I know! I love you!)
