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

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.
