Supporting Our Creative Community

The Alutiiq Museum is committed to helping artists support themselves. With arts education, marketing, and professional development we create opportunities for artists to grow skills, find inspiration, and sell their work. The store also helps museum visitors learn the value of authentic Native works with truthful labeling so they can support our creative community with a purchase.

Museum Store Program
The Alutiiq Museum Store is an active museum program, a place where artists can sell their works to earn support for continued creation and where patrons can expand their understanding of the Alutiiq world. Our non-profit business is centrally located, staffed by professionals, and serves thousands of visitors each year. Contact our staff to discuss selling or consigning your work
