The Anchorage Mushing DistrictThe Mushing District project in Anchorage is an urban enhancement project that celebrates the rich history of dog mushing in the State of Alaska. Particularly the history and role dogs played in the establishment of Anchorage, from providing transportation of mail and goods in and out of Anchorage, through to today with dog racing on Fourth Avenue. The arch project is currently entering a bidding phase with construction planned for 2025.
Over the past 10 years, our contributions include: the dogs and musher profiles adorning the top of the commemorative arch that marks the start of the Iditarod, the bronze pawprints and the husky profile disks that are embedded in the sidewalks around the district, the sculptural designs for 4 bronze sleeping dogs on pedestals, enhancements to the pillars, bronze sponsor plaques, banners along the streets and the sign toppers on the side streets, to name a few. In addition, we provide rendering support, ads, and brochure layout to promote the project. Since 2024 Maria serves on the board for the Mushing District.
To help fund this project solid bronze pawprints can be purchased that can feature your name, or someone's name you gift a sponsorship to. They are cast in bronze, engraved and embedded in sidewalk pavement permanently part of Anchorage's street-scape celebrating Alaska's history! This amazing beautification project will be completely donor-funded and various options are available to get involved. Check out the website below for more information. They range from bronze paw prints to adopting one of the dogs, be recognized in a profound way. This arch will be a backdrop where many visitors will snap a photo to share!
