Gift Shop
The Hospitality House, slated to begin construction in the spring of 2008, will include a small gift shop that will feature the work of local artists and crafts people, including the 13 people who received their endorsement in Northwest Coast Art from the University of Alaska. At the gift shop you can expect to find carvings such as masks, bowls, paddles, wall panels, or woven spruce root or cedar bark baskets in a variety of shapes and sizes, woolen weavings from small medicine bags to full size robes, all made by local or regional artists.
