Arts & Culture
The characteristics and knowledge of a particular group of people,
encompassing language, religion, cuisine, social habits, music and arts.
In a state as diverse as Alaska,
it's not surprising we're a creative
bunch of people, drawing inspiration
from nature, light and Alaska Native
cultures to paint, compose, craft
and design amazing art. Our museums, while sometimes quirky, offer rich collections of ancient and modern art, Alaska history and cultural traditions. We dance at festivals and concerts year-round, work with qiviut and other fibers to make amazing wearable art and celebrate the written word at
writers' conferences and theatrical
performances. If you're interested
in music, theater, the arts or dance,
you'll want to dive deeply into our
vibrant and energetic arts scene
– and perhaps inspire your own
creativity.
