14 The Yukon—where art imitates life and life returns the compliment Connect with Yukon’s eclectic and close-knit arts community in studios, galleries, theatres and on the streets. You’ll find the story of traditional and contemporary life in the Yukon reflected in the work of painters, poets, carvers, musicians, traditional garment makers, dancers, filmmakers, playwrights, photographers, sculptors, potters, textile artists, woodworkers, storytellers, and mixed media artists who find innovative ways to incorporate pieces of the Yukon into their art. Explore Yukon’s heritage, arts and First Nations cultures and you’ll discover the heart and soul of this special place. Learning traditional First Nations techniques at the Sundog Carving Retreat – YG, J.F. Bergeron Sing, Laugh, Play With Us Keep your eyes and ears open for live performances as you travel around the Yukon and you’ll be entertained at festivals and community arts venues by musicians, dance troupes, filmmakers, authors, storytellers and other talented artists year-round. Then dance the night away under the midnight sun or soak in the hot springs under the northern lights. The Dawson City Music Festival is internationally renowned for attracting established and up-and-coming musicians (and capacity audiences) – YG You may be drawn here by wilderness, but you’ll also experience the sophisticated side of Yukon life. Take in some live theatre, kick back in a café and try local delicacies like Arctic char and bison. Your Yukon cultural experience will be unforgettable no matter what time of year.
A wild land with a refined heart A snowcarver’s icy princess warms the hearts of “sourdoughs” at the annual Yukon Sourdough Rendezvous Festival in February – YG Experience the Yukon through artwork at local galleries and studios – YG, J.F. Bergeron Fuel for the Creative Spirit Extreme influences stimulate the creative spirit in the Yukon— endless summer light and long, dark winters; urban living surrounded by vast wilderness; rich traditions and history alongside a modern culture; and the mysteries, stories, lore and legends told by elders about long ago generations, historical figures, and animal spirits. Yukon artists are deeply influenced by where they live and many include indigenous elements in their work. Look for native pottery glazes, qiviuq (fine muskox hair), porcupine quills, dog hair, antler, gold nuggets, mammoth ivory, gemstones and native wood. Visit our galleries and studios where you’ll find original paintings, jewellery, sculpture, carvings, beadwork, ceramics and other treasures. Better yet, meet the artists themselves by checking out the Art Adventures on Yukon Time studio guide, or attend one of our many arts festivals. Plan your trip to the Yukon travelyukon.com 15
