Activities

Advocacy for the arts and cultures of Anchorage is the primary goal of the Anchorage Cultural Council. As part of that, we sponsor, organize and support a variety of activities.

Mayor's Award for the Arts

Each year, the people of Anchorage nominate outstanding artists, organizations and individuals whose service to arts and culture has enriched our community.

The honorees are chosen by a committee made up of members of the Anchorage Cultural Council and the Anchorage Arts Advisory Commission.

The 2011 Ceremony will be held Wednesday, October 26th at 5:30 pm in the atrium of ConocoPhillips Alaska. Read more.

Art Matters

An ongoing advocacy campaign to raise awareness of the importance of arts and culture in our community.

Did you know that...

4,500 Alaskans--about 2% of the entire workforce--earn income from arts-related activity--more than Alaska's mining industry, the residential construction industry and the banking sector.
