The People's Paper is a FREE monthly newspaper written by the people who live in the Mat-Su Valley. Make A Scene is a local art, music, and entertainment magazine.
COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER & ARTS MAGAZINE ALASKAN OWNED & OPERATED, WRITTEN BY THE COMMUNITY.
The People’s Paper is a free monthly newspaper written entirely by Alaskans. There are no paid writers—just real stories, ideas, and opinions from your community. It’s a place to connect, create, and express yourself. Got something to say? Send in your article!
Make A Scene Magazine is where it all began—our original arts and entertainment publication, proudly printed in Alaska since 2007. Created by and for local artists, musicians, and creatives, you’ll find it folded inside every issue of The People’s Paper.
As the snow begins to melt and longer days return to the Valley, spring in Wasilla brings a renewed sense of energy and opportunity. It’s a time when many Alaskans start getting back outside, preparing for summer adventures, and thinking a little more about their health and wellbeing. This season of renewal also brings a great opportunity for the community to focus on wellness at the Wasilla Community Health Fair, hosted by FYZICAL Therapy & Balance Centers in partnership with Alaska Health Fair.
Last summer was a big milestone for us at MASCOTarts. For the first time, we held our summer camp production at the Glenn Massay Theater, bringing You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown to the big stage. What happened next honestly blew us away: the performance sold out, the audience packed the theatre, and our campers walked away with new confidence, new friendships, and a real sense of belonging.
The Art Cafe is pleased to present an exhibition featuring Alexa Maitheí, a multi-disciplinary artist originally from Honduras.
Since age 17, Maitheí explored the intersection of visual art, philosophy, and music driven by a deep curiosity about life, mythology, ancestral knowledge, and the unseen dimensions of human experience. Her work emerges from an intuitive, spiritual approach, seeking to reconnect with what we have forgotten: our relationship with nature, memory and inner awareness.
If you’ve followed my work for a while, you’ve likely seen bold sled wraps climbing mountain faces, custom race graphics flying across the snow, or vibrant logos on local businesses and events. But I often hear the same questions about what I actually do and how my business works. So let’s clear a few things up.
Chickaloon Village Traditional Council (CVTC) invites community members and visitors to experience Ts’utsaetne’: Honoring Our Ancestors, a temporary exhibit now on display at the Wasilla Museum through August.
Uncharted Path, LLC is an organization born from hope, vision, and a deep desire to give back to the community. Founded toward the end of 2025 by Jesse James and his fiancée and business partner, Alisha Bennett, the organization grew from their shared understanding of the Mat-Su Valley, its music scene, and the need for more meaningful entertainment options in the Wasilla area. They listened to the community and got to work.
