Art Matters returns! For this installment, Heather talked with local authors Tom McGuire and Rosemary McGuire about their new books, Steller’s Orchid and Cold Latitudes.

Art Matters talks with Linda Buckley from Juneau about her new book, with Annette Smith about upcoming events including the Holly Jolly Follies and the Christmas Parade, and Haines and Skagway events coordinators about municipal wintertime activities.
