2018 Six Week Spotlight

Alaska Arts Confluence

Each locally manufactured wood product has a story. From the role the seedling and growing tree plays in our ecosystem, to the people who touch and handle the tree, to the stages of local manufacturing, to the residents and visitors who utilize and enjoy the final item, the wood products in our Valley are touched by many. From Forest to Finish showcased the breadth of local wood products, with products from 40 established and emerging artisans, entrepreneurs, and local forestry workers.

The exhibit celebrated our forests, the role the trees play in our valley, and the people who are supported by our vast and beautiful timber resource. From Forest to Finish was curated by the Alaska Arts Confluence, a local non-profit in the Chilkat Valley.
