The mission of the Galleries is to exhibit artwork that promotes cultural awareness, stimulates creativity, or offers educational opportunities for all visitors. Applications for the Gallery Program typically open in March and close in May. We accept new, emerging, and professional artists into this program, with preference given to artists who live and work in Alaska. Artists outside of Alaska are eligible to apply.

Artists have the opportunity to sell their work in three locations: at the JACC in the Davis Gallery at Centennial Hall, and in our online shop.
