When Covid-19 stopped regular business in its tracks in the spring of 2020, we wanted a way to continue being involved with the community. Although the gallery was closed, our members began demonstrating their artistic practice in our front gallery windows, where they could be seen by members of the public.

We have chosen to continue the Artist in the Window program so that Yukoners and visitors are able to engage with us as we work.

Almost every week a different artist member of Yukon Artists at Work demonstrates their artistic practice in our front gallery window. There are also displays of their work for you to enjoy. Whether you feel comfortable inside or outside, we’re happy to have you!
