AREA GUIDES
Sitka loves the arts, and it's appar-
ent with all the creative people of Sitka
and their artistic hobbies and crafts.
While in town visit many of the muse-
ums and theaters. The Sitka Fine Arts
Camp is a nationally acclaimed pro-
gram that provides artistic develop-
ment for youth K-12 in visual arts,
music, dance, theater, writing, and
Alaska Native arts. The camp has
been named one of the top 10 in the
country by the National Endowment for
the Arts. Nightly "Art Shares" by stu-
dents and faculty highlight the program
to the public.
Located on a lush forested island
halfway between Seattle, Washington,
and Anchorage, Alaska, Sitka enjoys
daily jet service on Alaska Airlines from
these cities, as well as Juneau, and
Ketchikan. FerrySitka is also accessi-
ble by the Alaska Marine Highway
Ferry or by ship. Sit back and enjoy the
ride no matter how you choose to trav-
el to historic and scenic Sitka!
