    My wife always drags me here. In decades, I've never shopped her of my own free will. But it's a great place for crafts, arts, decorations, painting, and such. I enjoy the holiday displays especially. They have a wide selection of holiday decorations and crafts and items. All very interesting and stuff not found anywhere else in Anchorage.

    Michael's in Anchorage is the typical, obligatory craft store. The store is usually clean and the customer service is fair. I have noticed some of the associates could use some training in customer service skills. My biggest criticism with this store is their stock and availability, it is lacking in several areas. I realize that being in Alaska poses some issues with availability but it seems worse at Michaels than many of the other stores in town. They also tend to not order much of the seasonal items so it goes really fast when they do get items in. I'd think with little to no competition from other craft stores they'd be able to know the audience and keep a well stocked store but it seems the opposite effect, likely not ordering as much stock for fear of having it left over and storing or going to clearance. Not a horrible store to visit but also no other viable options to shop for crafts and the like.

    The Alaska Art Alliance is your must-go destination for authentic, handcrafted pieces made by…read moreNative Alaskans. 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.

    My wife and I were staying in the neighborhood and found the Store. We met Fred Mayac who carved us…read morethe most beautiful bone puffin we have ever seen. Fred mailed it to us when it was finished with the help of Leon Kinneeveauk, the Director. This is a wonderful place and Project. I would like to find a way to support it but it doesn't seem to be a registered Charity? Just Leon helping people who are gifted native artists.
