Visit Annie Kaill’s in Juneau

Annie Kaill’s first opened in 1975 and has been a favorite among locals ever since. They specialize in Alaskan artwork in many different mediums. You’ll discover everything from glass to stone on the tables of this store. Most of the artists featured in Annie Kaill’s are local to the state, using their experience living in Alaska in their works. If you’re interested in learning more about the various artists whose works are displayed here, visit their website. There, you can read biographies and browse through their available pieces.

While you browse through the displayed items, you’ll be able to see reappearing themes that distinguish Alaska art from any other type. Many of the pieces are inspired by the native cultures of Southeast Alaska, the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian. One of the most common motifs is the flowing, curving lines. Another is the depiction of nature or animals, especially those that are native to Alaska. Puffins, bears, moose, and many different species of fish are frequently portrayed.

Attend an Event

At the beginning of each month, Annie Kaill’s hosts a function that celebrates their featured artists. It’s the perfect chance to chat with the artist as well as other local connoisseurs. If you’re visiting Juneau in December, you shouldn’t miss the Gallery Walk. Without a doubt, this is the most extravagant art event in Juneau. All of the shops and galleries are open late for visitors to enjoy the works with snacks, drinks, and talking with guests artists. Annie Kaill’s is considered one of the hottest stops of this event.
