Aurora Fine Art

Alaskan owned and operated, Aurora Fine Art began in 1990 in a quaint 400 square foot space just across the street from where we are located now. In Greek, the word "Aurora" means "New Beginning" and that is exactly what opening an art gallery meant for owner, Diane Louise. With a passion for art and it's creators, Diane set out to really emphasise the importance of having art made by LOCAL artists in the community. That is where we began, and it remains true to who we are.

Nearly fifteen years ago, "Zoez Window Gallery" and "Alaska Max Gourmet" were added to the Aurora Family. "Zoez", was named after Diane's grandaughter and "Alaska Max", after her grandson. In Greek, the name, "Zoe", translates to mean "Life"; changing the gallery name to mean, "Life's Window Gallery". Kinda perfect, don't you think?

Today, the galleries are still owned and operated by Diane and her family. You'll probably see Zoe and Max working in their namesakes; and you might even see "Norman", the gallery dog sleeping behind the counter. So stop in for a chat, check out some fantastic local art, or grab some fudge at Alaska Max; either way, we would LOVE to see you here!
