Summary:Alaska has long been a nurturing home for artists, with its stunning natural beauty, rich cultural life and unique communities. In recent years, artists in Alaska have had an additional source of support, the awarding of annual grants to craftsmen, musicians, performers, visual artists and writers by the Rasmuson Foundation. Creative Alaska profiles the award winners from 2004 to 2013 in three categories, Distinguished Artists, Fellowships and Project Awards. Richly illustrated accounts of each of the artists and their work illuminate the challenges and opportunities of the artistic life in Alaska and the powerful impact of the Rasmuson Foundation's support.
