Northwest Coast Juried Art Show & Competition

About

SHI founded its biennial Juried Art Show and Competition in 2002 to reaffirm the greatness of Northwest Coast art traditions and to promote the continued evolution of those practices in Southeast Alaska. The goals of the Juried Art Show are:

  • To encourage and enhance the creation and production of Southeast Alaska Native objects of artistic value which have fallen into disuse and are becoming rare;
  • To stimulate and enhance the quality of artistic work among our Native artisans; and
  • To encourage the development of new forms of art of purely Southeast Alaska Native form and design.

During Celebration, the exhibit is open to the public at SHI’s Nathan Jackson Gallery in the Walter Soboleff Building in Juneau.
