MY new Solo exhibition to open at the Alaska State Museum!
Accolades have been piling up for Sitka-based artist Nicholas Galanin, with a flotilla of prestigious grants and fellowships sailing his way in recent years. The latest is an Eiteljorg fellowship, granted this spring, which means several of Galanin’s pieces will enter the permanent collection at the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, Indiana. The museum is renowned for its collection of contemporary works by indigenous artists.
For Galanin the burst of recognition is certainly welcome. “I can definitely appreciate the momentum that’s been built,” he said in a recent phone interview.

BLIZZARD: Emerging Northern Artists looks at indigenous artists (Jamasie Pitseolak, Nicholas Galanin, Tanya Lukin Linklater, Geronimo Inutiq, and Derek Aqqiaruq) working in the North who are using their traditions to forge new ideas around contemporary art. This catalogue includes an essay by Candice Hopkins and Tania Willard. BLIZZARD looks at a younger generation of Northern Artists schooled in the traditions of their artists families, but breaking barriers by questioning relationships that tie North and South.

Sentinel Staff Writer
Sitka artist Nicholas Galanin has been awarded a $25,000 grant by the Eiteljorg Contemporary Art Fellowship. In addition to the unrestricted grant, the honor comes with an agreement to purchase Galanin’s work for the Eiteljorg Museum of American Indians and Western Art in Indianapolis, Ind. The fellowship annually honors four juried artists and one invited artist who excel in the field of contemporary art. Galanin, who is part Tlingit and Aleut, is a concept-driven artist who works in sculpture, photography and other media, the Eiteljorg museum said.
