The Arctic Light Gallery is a fine art nature photography gallery located on the Anchorage hillside, featuring the work of award-winning photographer Carl Johnson. Highlighting his Alaska photography, the gallery also includes images from Iceland, Norway, Hawaii, and the Southwest. The gallery is located amidst 1 1/4 acres that includes a perennial garden, rose garden, peony garden, vegetable garden, wild habitat and expansive views of the Cook Inlet and Aleutian Range. Carl has photographed amazing sunsets and aurora borealis on the grounds, as well as wildlife including black bear, lynx, ermine, moose, great horned owl and snowshoe hare. The gallery reflects a mixture of rustic and contemporary elements, encompassing 330 square feet of space.

The Arctic Light gallery is not just another shop to visit among others, it is a destination. Because of that, we wanted to make it an experience. Our gallery features a sitting area where you will have the opportunity to enjoy a complimentary drink while you relax and enjoy the prints, browse a book or calendar, and have the opportunity to chat with the artist. If we do not have what you are looking for in stock, a 49″ television provides you access to a selected digital library of images available for you to order. And even if you don’t see it then, ask. We may have it in Carl’s extensive digital library in his office. While you are visiting, feel free to stroll the property, enjoy the gardens, have a hot drink out by our outdoor fire pit, or have a seat in our swinging wooden bench to enjoy the view.

Visiting the gallery is by appointment only, so call us ahead to make arrangements for your visit!
