Ahtsik Native Art Gallery
Located on Tseshaht lands in Port Alberni, the Ahtsik Native Art Gallery specializes in traditional West Coast style art of the Pacific Northwest. Ahtsik is a Nuu-chah-nulth word meaning to create to the best of your abilities, and all artwork at the gallery is selected based on the principles of beauty and craftsmanship. Owned by Tseshaht/Nuu-chah-nulth artist Gordon Dick, who works from his on-site carving shed, the gallery also showcases the work of local and regional artists featuring Indigenous woodcarvings, jewelry, masks, panels, sculptures, doors and more.
