This studio is great, I have purchased a number of pieces of art (mostly wall art). There is such a great variety of mediums in this shop from metal, to glass, to water colors to oils, textiles etc.   I would recommend you stop in next time your downtown. More...

This little gallery is chock full of incredible local art. I was immediately enamored with the colorful canvases and stunning photographs that adorn the walls of this shop. There is literally something on every surface in here so it took me some time to scan the walls from top to bottom. The store goes pretty far back and has a corner nook that I would guess some people don't make it all the way back there to see. Luckily I did! I picked out a neat little aurora painting by a local gal and almost brought home other large pieces (too bad I was restrained by the size of my suitcase!) This place is a total gem on a street with otherwise touristy t-shirt, shot glass, and souvenir type stores. If you want something local and unique this place is ideal. More...

How have I not reviewed Sevigny? This is definitely of one of my top 5 favorite things in Anchorage.  Tourists, if you're looking for a unique, handmade Alaskan gift, this place should be your first stop.  I'm pretty sure 100% of their items are made in Alaska, by local Alaskan artists, artisans and crafters. Admittedly they don't have Native Alaskan Crafts, but they are very heavy on Alaskan themed art.  Items range from under 10 dollars to several thousand and there's nothing pretentious about this gallery.  It's all acessible and gorgeous.  Items run the gamut: stationary, jewelry, glass, sculpture,  paintings, textiles, home decor, photography, clothing, beauty products... so many things I can't name them all.  Alaskan themes are abundant, birch, halibit, salmon, Denali, Anchorage, snow, mountains, moose, ect.  If you wanna buy me something I'll love, start here. It's a shame it's so far down 4th Avenue next to the dusty old abandoned 4th Ave Theater, because a lot of people miss this place because of its location. Seek it out, you won't regret it. More...

Favorite gallery in town. A must-visit in downtown Anchorage. It's more of a Boho style gift shop with some cool art pieces at reasonable prices. I wish they would mix up the styles a little more often of art & handicrafts they offer. However, the works by V.Rae are incredible, and it's the first piece of art we splurged on! First Fridays they bring in live music and a little food. A fun time to visit while it's hoppin'. More...

I love Katie's shop! She sells her own art as well as other Alaskans' art! This is one of my favorite places to find gifts for friends and family. Katie designs t-shirts too! I love the little skier girl and the fat tire bike. She's a talented women. I always enjoy talking to her and she gives great suggestions for gifts. I always get great service and they have a consistent assortment of high quality goods. More...

Yesterday was the 'first Friday' event where all the galleries are open late, with snackage, and a stellar ambiance.  Sevigny REALLY stood out, as they featured a quartet of flutists (sp? ) providing some lovely music to enjoy.  Kate Sevigny is a magical artist...her works focus on nature and in a new, whimsical way that brings a smile to your face.  It's not enough to buy a postcard of her work though....with her huge original oil paintings staring at you, you feel like you almost have the space in your tiny apartment to feature it.  This is my favorite gallery in Anchorage!  She also has a lot of cool jewelry, handknit headbands, painted scarves and objects d'arte.

I love this gallery in the heart of downtown. It has a wonderful, young, hip, not-at-all stuffy atmosphere. There's such an interesting assortment of artwork to admire from lots of different artists, including the owner of the gallery, Kate Sevigny. And there's an Alaskan flavor to everything without it being to cheesily Alaskan, if  you know what I mean. Walk around the corner to its sister store, the Fiddlehead Gallery -- it's a good one too! Not only is the artwork interesting but the reasonable prices make these galleries the perfect place to buy a gift or treat yourself to something special. More...
