Blue skies, shining on me
Solstice tripped past; midsummer madness obfuscating missing minutes while we Alaskans burn candles at both ends, making merry with every summer day. Even here in Anchorage, 3:00 AM brings nothing darker than a cold blue dusk. Long days permit extra hours putting up fish and other necessary busyness, leaving a bit left over for something fun. Artmaking pauses, life continues, and blue skies smile down on us.
The Alaska Native Arts Foundation’s online shop and 6th Avenue gallery feature the work of over 900 Aleut, Alutiiq, Athabascan, Inupiat, Yup’ik, St. Lawrence Island Yupik, Cup’ik, Tlingit, Tsimshian, Haida, "Eskimo," and "Indian" artists the Alaska Native Arts Foundation has worked with since 2002.
