Art Society Gallery
The Arts Underground gallery is run by the
Yukon Art Society (YAS) and features a new exhibit every
month. The YAS exhibition program showcases artwork by Yukon
artists from a multitude of disciplines and at varying stages
in their development. YAS takes great pride in supporting
and mentoring emerging northern artists and art organizations.
The Yukon Arts Society was founded in 1970 and
today represents approximately 150 artists. In addition to
its gallery and exhibition program, YAS is responsible for
Arts in the Park as well as the YAS Professional and Creative
