Went here yesterday with my 7 year old daughter, my dad, and step mom. We called ahead and spoke…read morewith Hannah, who told us she would reserve a table for us as it was a busy Saturday. After getting lost in traffic (maps will take you to the Dimond mall even though it's next to House of Bread) she called us to check in and still kept our table for us. What a fun activity on a rainy day, and to be honest, I wouldn't even do this type of thing, but the ladies working here made it for me. They were so joyful, helpful, sweet and fun, it really made the whole experience. Go do something different and unwind! PS: my mug + my daughters horse came to $59 plus a $10 tip, so $69 total, which feels a little steep for the two of us to go do a craft. Wish it was something we could do more often, but nonetheless it was a good time and unique!

I love this book store for a few different reasons, but haven't been in until recently…read more One, I read online about people hating the drag story time for families in Anchorage and Wasilla, but Taylor Jordon continued to host despite ongoing threats. No discrimination here. Two, she does not ban books and continues to support during banned book week, which for 2025 happens to be Oct. 5-11. RESIST! During discussion with another customer, Taylor mentioned the shop hosting two different book clubs, and one is currently reading 1984. Coincidence, much? Methinks not. Three, she hires homeless youth, and is the only bookbinder in Alaska. I bought a cute hand made book bag for $10, and is perfect for my knitting projects, shopping, or whatever. Will come again, and must recommend.

Their mission is simple - to support and promote Native Alaskan artists by providing them a place to work and sell their art while also promoting their culture and each other. They nurture art and they lift each other up. In a world of AI slop and mass produced junk the Alaska Art Alliance provides a much needed infusion of craftsmanship practiced for generations. A fine layer of dust seems to cling to everything in the store, but it is not the dust of neglect; it is the dust of constant hard work. They have a wide variety of items - art, pins, jewelry, carvings, and scrimshaws and much more! I will admit I wasn't certain when I first passed the shop as the retractable gate and the locked door made it look uninviting. My friend tried the door, found it locked, and walked away leaving me barely time to read the sign that said "if locked call or text number listed" as they would be in the back working. The next day we returned, and after informing my friend what the sign said, prepared to call but found the door unlocked. There were multiple cases full of different items. The workshop in the back looked busy. After being in so manny tourist shops it just felt nice being somewhere that felt real. The gentleman who assisted us was warm and informative. He told us about the artisans, the mission, and all they were doing. My eyes fell upon a jade bead necklace and I was captivated. I had been looking at jade all trip fairly unimpressed because they largely were flat green and didn't interest me. This necklace had character with inclusions and variations in the color. Each bead was unique. There were two necklaces and I opted for the smaller since being short the larger was a bit long to wear practically. The larger, tho, was epically beautiful as well! We ended up buying that necklace and a handcrafted pin. I am very pleased with our purchases and would recommend anyone who seeks authentic pieces to come to this Art Alliance.
