Gary Wayne Peterson · North West Coast Artist · Alert Bay
A working North West Coast studio & gallery in Alert Bay, Island of the Killer Whale —
where tradition is carved, painted, and lived.
During your visit to Alert Bay, B.C. you will want to take the time to drop by and experience traditional artwork — not only on display, but also being created — by North West Coast artist craftsman, Gary Wayne Peterson.
After your visit to the U'mista Cultural Centre, and the world's tallest Totem Pole, 300 yards away, on your way to Gator Gardens ecological park, at 37 Atli Street, you have the opportunity to witness artworks being created in person while you take a rest on your journey through historic Cormorant Island.
Alert Bay — Home of the Killer Whale — has been a gathering place for generations. The Sun House continues that tradition: a quiet room where wood, paint, and story meet, and where every visitor is welcome to watch the work unfold.
Every piece in the room has a story — and most of them are still being told.
