ORIGINAL 3‑D ART HAS TRAVELED "FAR-FAR-AWAY"
Atsaq Art were given as awards or retirement gifts by the Kuskokwim 300 Sled Dog Races, the Alaska Federation of Natives, the Association of Village Council Presidents, the Bethel Native Corporation, Orutsararmiut Native Council (ONC), AVCP Regional Housing Authority, the Yukon -Kuskokwim Health Corporation and the Bethel Clinic.
While most collectors are here at home—from Juneau to Nome, Fairbanks to Dillingham—our original 3‑D art has traveled far beyond our small town of Bethel, Alaska.
Our original handmade craft pieces now live in Australia, Cameroon, New Zealand, Canada, Germany, Israel, Iran, Spain, Poland, and Venezuela. It has also found homes throughout the contiguous United States, reaching collectors in California, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Minnesota, Michigan, Montana, New York, Oregan, Washington State (Seattle), Texas, Washington D.C., and Wisconsin—just to name a few.
One artwork even sailed around the world with a couple on their boat. Another was gifted to an Iranian president in 2008, and one was gifted by ONC to a Venezuelan leader in 2024.
