Juneau’s vibrant arts scene and rich cultural history are among our city’s clear strengths. The two are often intertwined, such as in the many expressions of Northwest Coast Native art that can be found throughout Southeast. In study after study, the arts have been shown to be beneficial in promoting social connectedness, building bridges between diverse populations, engaging students, and stimulating personal growth and community involvement. In addition, the arts contribute significantly to our local and regional economy.
Arts Vibrancy Endowment
For generations now, Juneauites have created and maintained a high degree of artistic ingenuity, expression, and grassroots energy. Through the Arts Vibrancy Endowment, the Juneau Community Foundation strives to help create and maintain dynamic and accessible arts and culture opportunities for generations to come. Board leaders with community support are committed to building a $4 million endowment for this purpose. This fund will be developed by individuals and businesses pooling resources to achieve greater community impact in the arts. This endowment will be able to address the changing needs and opportunities of arts and culture projects, organizations, and programs in our town. Learn more
