The central hub for artists and art lovers in Whitehorse & Yukon, operated by the Yukon Art Society. The Yukon Art Society was founded in April of 1970.

Not only is it the oldest visual arts organization in the Yukon, but with a membership of around 150 members, it is the largest. The size and longevity of this grassroots organization can be explained in part by its inclusiveness policy. All artists are welcome to join.

Today we're excited to launch a new initiative at Arts Underground!

The Youth Artist Feature is an initiative started to give young and emerging artists the opportunity to showcase their work for 1 month in our Members’ Gallery. This gives them the chance to experience selling their artwork in a gallery setting and get a sense of what work they might want to focus on going forward.

Young artists ages 13 - 20 are encouraged to apply. For more information, you can visit our website here: https://www.artsunderground.ca/youth-artist-features

This month's artist is Whitehorse-based Little Salmon/Carmacks First Nation artist Meeka O'Brien! Meeka is selling a collection of cute polymer clay figures, which will be on display in the gallery and in our online store until November 13.

Join us tonight from 5-7pm for the opening reception of our two October exhibitions, ‘Lumina’ by Alaena Warner in the Focus Gallery and ‘From the Margins’ by Blood Ties Four Directions in the Edge Gallery. Thank you to our exhibition sponsor Yukon Brewing

‘Lumina’ examines the life cycles of the boreal forest as a metaphor for life transitions and subsequent transformation. ‘From the Margins’ culminates a year of arts programming at Blood Ties and features work created by community members who use substances and those with lived experiences of marginalization.

It’s also another First Friday! Yukon Artists at Work is opening ‘Where We Live’ by Pat Bragg and Friends, and Northern Cultural Expressions Society will be hosting an artist showcase of work by Violet Gatensby.
