'AurorA - Alaska's Great Northern Lights' is a seasonal 100% Alaskan owned, designed and operated presentation open daily from May 24th through September 1st. 'AurorA' is not a "documentary" about aurora. But rather 'AurorA' is a very rare collection of auroral occurrences over many years showing people worldwide what a remarkable natural event the aurora is across the grand night skies of Alaska. Although mostly photographed with high resolution films in the pre-digital age, with recent leaps in High Definition technology, 'AurorA' is now projected in HD Blu-Ray(R) quality. The introduction has a portion of science about aurora but the rest of the show contains stunning images played to original music scores. This is the result of the desire to capture the absolute best auroral displays Alaska has to offer. Having chased aurora across Alaska since early autumn of 1980, I've found it to be the most difficult subject matter and task to be devoted to & my 'office' is extremely cold!

40 minute show that starts out with information and attempts to explain the aurora. Then lots of beautiful clips of the aurora. Yes it's a theater. But it's August. And it's a good time filler...

The trolley tour operator said it was a good show, and worth our time. I will have to disagree. Don't get me wrong, the pictures were pretty, but 40 min of pictures of colored lights and...

Do not take your kids! Save your money and buy the DVD. It is long - 40 minutes with minimal narration. We were just waiting for the movie to end. I even fell asleep at one point. Really wish...

Regat Jacques & Mary

Jacques and Mary Regat are Alaskan sculptors, painters and muralists, who have worked as professional artists and have lived in Alaska for over 50 years. They work in many medias such as bronze, wood, lithography, painting, jewelry and the like. Their interest in the Alaska native people have led them to create works of art that represent the stories and legends of these people thereby bridging the gap between cultures. They also have done a collection of religious art telling the stories of the Saints for the Catholic Church. To their credit their work has been commissioned by many art in public places. Nature with its wonderful array of wild animals has inspired them to create beautiful impressionistic images that fit in all types of home decors. They are known for their wide variety of subject matter with the Alaskan black bears, grizzly bears and the pristine white polar bears of the far north being among some of their favorites. The otters be it the river or sea otter make exciting compositional possibilities with their wonderful fluid bodies and lively activities. The sculpture of our sea otters titled "Playmates" shown here can be seen at Murphy's Family Dental on 330 Tudor Road, Anchorage, AK along with our 92 foot mural representing the native American story of the wolf people. We invite you to explore our web site and see our collection of work for sale and sold out editions. We are continually adding new pieces.
