The Sheldon Jackson Museum’s September Artifact of the Month is a contemporary mask entitled Midsummer Moon Mask (SJ-2022-1-1). The mask was purchased by the Friends of Sheldon Jackson Museum with Rasmuson Art Acquisition Funds, generously awarded in the spring of 2022. The acquisition of this mask is significant for many reasons, most notably because the work is a fresh artistic and innovative statement that exudes feminine energy in the form of a moon face while combining elements of diverse Alaska Native cultures, including the artist’s own.
