Juneau Arts & Humanities Council

The Juneau Arts and Humanities Council (the Council), incorporated in 1973, is the official arts and humanities agency in the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska (CBJ). The Council operates the Juneau Arts and Culture Center (JACC) and Centennial Hall facilities under agreements with CBJ to foster a vibrant arts and cultural environment and enhance the local economy.

Our mission is to cultivate vibrant arts and cultural opportunities in our community and foster a strong, prosperous, and inclusive environment where creativity and innovation thrive.

The Juneau Arts & Humanities Council resides on the unceded territories of the Áak’w Ḵwáan on Lingít Aaní, colonially known as Juneau, Alaska. We acknowledge that the Lingít Peoples have been stewards of this land on which we work since time immemorial and are grateful for that stewardship and incredible care. 

As an arts and humanities organization, we commit to meaningful collaboration through listening, learning, and holding space with Indigenous communities. We recognize the series of unjust actions that attempted to remove these communities from their land, which includes forced relocations and burning of their villages. We aspire to work toward healing and liberation, recognizing our paths are intertwined in the complex histories of colonization in Alaska. 

To foster a strong, healthy, and purposeful arts community, we commit to celebrating diverse expression, listening to lessons from the past, and creating access and opportunities which carry us into the future.

Áak'w Rock 2025 Postponed

Due to temporary staffing constraints, we are putting Áak'w Rock 2025 on hold. 

The planning team at the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council is committed to supporting this amazing festival in partnership with The Central Council of Tlingit & Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska, and uplifting Indigenous voices and artistry through music and performance. 

Our two organizations have already agreed to look forward to the future, and refocus our efforts to the 2027 date to  build the best possible festival. 

To keep up with Áak’w Rock artists, we encourage you to look at our previous lineups and follow the artists on social media and beyond. Please bookmark our website www.aakwrockfest.com, and follow us on Facebook and Instagram. We are excited to see you in 2027!
