In addition to the wonderful illustrations Anchorage and Alaska provide for the content of the workshop through the close historical and present-day ties to the Russian Far East, Anchorage is also a prime location for a true Alaska experience - wildlife viewing, flightseeing tours and glacier visits are only a few of the activities you can enjoy while staying close to urban dining, arts and cultural attractions.
You are welcome to extend your stay in Anchorage, Alaska, beyond workshop dates. Stays at the University Residence Hall Summer Conference Housing, at just $35 per night, can be continued for a memorable Memorial Day weekend in this great city and state - and feel free to bring family and friends!
