Bivy
Bivy is a contemporary art gallery and bookstore founded by Simonetta Mignano in 2017 in Anchorage, Alaska, on Dena’ina land. Bivy mainly focuses on intersecting contemporary art and craft through exhibitions, performances, participatory practices and other events. At Bivy features a small bookstore dedicated to artists’ books, zines and ephemera by artists and makers, including an all-Alaskan section, and limited editions published by Bivy often in occasion of the exhibitions.
In 2020 Bivy launched the School of Nonfunctional Studies (SNS), an open, informal and experimental school project where each program fosters radically imaginative thought and invites the participants to experiment with multiple ways of knowing and making.
