Arts & Culture
Seward’s historic downtown and picturesque boat harbor are home to quaint galleries, quirky shops, and one of the largest public mural collections in Alaska.
Home to a thriving artists and makers scene, Seward hosts several events year-round that feature local artists, makers, and vendors.

Under direction from the Seward Mural Society, each painting depicts unique historical characters, local events, and natural landscapes while celebrating the beauty and spirit of Alaska.
