Alaska Railroad Annual Print & Poster Signings
Each year, the Alaska Railroad Corporation commissions an artist to produce artwork that is the basis for a limited edition print, poster and lapel pin and other gifts and materials. The annual Alaska Railroad artwork is a favorite among rail fans and Alaska art collectors. The Alaska Railroad typically hosts print and poster signings with the artist at a couple locations along the Railbelt.
For 2025, ARRC commissioned artist Scott Clendaniel (https://www.realartisbetter.com/) for the official commemorative posters/prints. The artwork features some of Alaska's favorite animal riding aboard a GoldStar coach. The public can meet Scott at two public sign-and-sale events scheduled for 2025.
