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).
