Alaska World Arts is a meeting place for worldwide artists and audiences of all ages to share culture and ideas with Alaskans and the rest of the world through a variety of art forms reminding all of us of our capacity for love and generosity.

We offer live and virtual performances, workshops, classes, films, and discussions by artists from Alaska and around the world. Thank you for being a part of our 2025 Alaska World Arts Festival.
