Located in the Hotel Captain Cook, this Gallery opened in 1977. Artists featured are Charles Gause (with panoramic Alaskan scenes) and Rie Munoz (known for stylized scenes of everyday Bush Alaskan life). Many paintings by world-recognized Frank Machetanz are available here. The riveting paintings, which he refers to as "Portraits of Alaska," earned him an "Alaskan of the Year" award in 1977.

The IGCA is one of the most exciting and innovative museums in Alaska. With a gallery in the heart of downtown, the IGCA regularly exhibits experimental works of art from Alaskan and internationally renowned artists. Past exhibitions have included FREEZE, an outdoor, hands-on installation where visitors tour through larger-than-life iced works of art in the downtown park strip. Now for the icing on top: this museum is free to the public. Additionally, inquiring visitors are often allowed to drop by the studios of resident artists to watch creativity come to life.
