Alaska Artists
Alaska is the ultimate destination. Called the Land of the Midnight Sun, The Great Land, The Last Frontier, it is exotic, wild, and beautiful as is much of the art you'll find here.
Alaska is also home to exceptional artists in a variety of media from carved ivory, whale bone or moose antlers to paintings and jewelry making. All the artists have unique styles and often stories behind their work.
If Native Alaskan art sparks your interest, SEARCH HERE to find a range of work that showcases traditional, time-honored skills and talent from every region of the state. Alaska's Native peoples are widely recognized for their creative use of natural materials. Ceremonial regalia and other traditional handicrafts are tooled from roots, grasses, wood, gold, silver, ivory, and soapstone (a soft stone found in western Alaska).

Alaska Folk Festival
April 7-13, 2008
Welcome to the Alaska Folk Festival in Juneau, Alaska.
The Alaska Folk Festival is a unique event and can be compared more to a folk life festival than to the Folk Festivals that many of us have experienced. For the most part, no one gets paid. All concerts and events are free, but everyone is encouraged to become a member. Performers on the main stage have 15 minute sets. Dance sets in the dance hall Thursday - Saturday nights are one hour in length.
Applications are sent to all members in January and are usually due by the end of February. Performers come from all over Alaska and also from other Northwest States as well as from just about everywhere else. Performances range from school groups to professionals. Many come from hundreds or thousands of miles away, every year.
The Festival is a non profit organization funded mostly from memberships. Admittance to the festival itself is free.
