Discover Sitka's rich cultural history on a two-and-a-half-hour walking through Sitka's art district. Meet the masters behind the creations and hear how Sitka's breathtaking beauty ignites their creativity. You'll follow your guide to several galleries that feature local artists, some of whom you will get to meet. From here you'll stroll to the Wild Arts Gallery for a look at the skilled artists who work in glass. Watch how molten glass is stretched, twisted and pulled into glass canes. After the demonstration you can don a welding jacket, gloves and protective eye gear and try your hand at pulling your own glass cane. Later, enjoy some free time to browse the gallery and purchase a unique keepsake as a reminder of your artistic discovery in Sitka. From here, you'll walk back to the pier, charmed by this wonderful experience.
