Juneau enjoys a thriving, active, diverse, and amazing arts community. World class theater, two opera companies, two ballet companies, a community orchestra and several chamber ensembles, choirs, arts groups – an amazing array for such a small town.

The Juneau Arts & Humanities Council serves as the umbrella organization for them all, providing support, encouragement, a place to gather and talk together about ways to build all of our programs.

Our official “Affiliates” become members of the Council at levels based on their budgets, and join with us in helping to make the Juneau Arts & Culture Center a success, with a larger goal of someday having a true performing arts and culture center. As members, we meet monthly at the Arts Roundtables on the last Monday of each month, at 5:15.
