I haven't taken any photos of the inside of the shop due to other yelpers reporting being yelled at and I don't like being yelled at, but it's a great place to support Alaskan artists and I suggest that you do.

From wall paintings to hand carved figurines to turned wood, there is a large assortment of high-end art items. Even if you don't buy anything (or can't afford to), it is worth a stop by. In the least, they have smaller prints / wall hangings that are lower cost.

Anyone who has read my reviews knows that I love supporting locally made products, regardless of…read morewhere I live. In Alaska, this is especially true because we are isolated and it's so important to our local economy. Furthermore, Alaska, and Homer in particular is teeming with artists. I suppose our amazingly beautiful but short summers and long, dark winters give our local artists lots of time to reflect on Alaskan beauty. I've never seen so many talented artists in one place. As such, I realize the longer I live here, to more desensitized I have become to good art. So when a particular artist catches my eye, it follows that they must be REALLY good. High Tide Arts is the home of Jens and Leslie Klaar. Jens is a talented knife maker and Leslie creates wonderful mosaics and watercolors. Leslie's work is characteristically Alaskan-themed. Her watercolors and mosaics are very different. I love the bold use of colors in her mosaics that hint at Japanese origami. Her paintings are in an entirely different style and equally fabulous. She has prints and originals for sale as well as art cards. High Tide's gallery sells art and jewelery made by many other talented Alaskan artists as well. The gallery is only open during the warm season from Memorial Day to Labor Day, but you can also order from them online. They do take credit cards as well.

Great artwork by locals, and prices are lower anywhere that I found. Leslie is very helpful and a…read morewonderful artist herself.

The Dean Homestead tour takes place on a big plot of land east of Homer that artist/builder/farmer Jeff Dean and his family have constructed. It's a series of art studios, living spaces, and animal enclosures that blew our minds for their ingenuity and creativity. Learn about coloring metal through heat! Meet shaggy donkeys, friendly goats, and - best of all - a yow (yak/cow) named Yeti who is just enormous. It's all on a rambling bit of hillside overlooking water, mountains, and glaciers. More than anything else in Homer, this gave us treasured memories and stories that our friends and family can't quite believe.

Their property is beautiful, their homemade structures are special and very thought through. The family that lives here is very kind and happy to answer any questions you have. Their animals are nice too and they have a yak/cow mix - a YOW!!! The yow (named Yeti) is 2500 pounds and absolutely huge! They are a family of artists, and very unique artists too! They have steel carvings, brass sculptures and more. They show you the process of how they go about their art too. It's amazing - would recommend this place to anyone.

Love the structure…read more- the front area seems reserved for temporary exhibits/installations, whereas the back half has smaller, handmade pieces - pottery, jewelry, plates, smaller paintings. All by local artists and some of the stuff at reasonable prices (by gallery standards). The exhibit I got to see - Ryan Romer - Yup'ic/Athabaskan artist from Anchorage - was quite inspired. Gives a great vibe as to the kind of fresh, creative art this gallery wishes to promote. Feels like a peaceful, well-curated place. Great place to pop in, while away a little time, feel inspired and maybe even find a nice gift or art piece for yourself without going into debt.

Avoid the cheesy t-shirts and what-not and save your pennies for Inua. You will go home with something wonderful and unique. Just a warning... leave children outside... this is not the kind of place you'd want to risk having a boo-boo.
