Silver Hand Program
The Silver Hand program helps Alaska Native artists promote their work in the marketplace and enables consumers to identify and purchase authentic Alaska Native art. The seal indicates that the artwork on which it appears is created by hand in Alaska by an individual Alaska Native artist. Only original contemporary and traditional Alaska Native artwork, not reproductions or manufactured work, may be identified and marketed with the Silver Hand seal. The Silver Hand image is protected under Alaska trademark statute and regulation and may only be used by individuals or organizations with Alaska State Council on the Arts’ explicit written permission. Click here learn more about Silver Hand program.
Please Note: Once you have assembled your materials, please send by email, mail, or you can deliver them to our office by appointment.
Winner is Fireweed in Denali - Sabrina Kessakorn of Anchorage!
