The Yukon Permanent Art Collection is the permanent art collection of the Yukon Government.[1] Works from the Yukon Permanent Art Collection are exhibited in Yukon Government buildings throughout the Yukon, and occasionally loaned to exhibitions.[1] Currently, the collection is stored at the Yukon Arts Centre, in Whitehorse, Yukon.[2] As of 2021, the collection had over 500 art works.[3][4] The collection focuses on art works that have a direct connection to the Yukon. The collection was founded in 1981.[5][6][7][8][9] The collection is supported by the registered charity Friends of the Yukon Permanent Collection founded in 1979.[10] The Friends of the Yukon Permanent Collection and the Yukon Government place a call for submissions annually.[11][12][1][13] The call is open to Yukon artists, Expat Yukon artists, and non Yukon artists whose work resonates with the Yukon.[14] Selection of works to the collection is made by a jury from the Friends of the Yukon Permanent Art Collection.
