About
Our mission is promoting excellence in contemporary and traditional arts in Alaska’s Interior. Fairbanks Arts is the oldest community arts council in the state and the official arts organization for both the Fairbanks North Star Borough and the City of Fairbanks, providing service, information, and support to local artists, organizations, and audiences. Fairbanks Arts provides programming in performing arts, literary arts, visual arts, and arts education with the assistance of advisory committees comprised of community volunteers. Fairbanks Arts is located within Pioneer Park, previously known as Alaskaland, in the Centennial Center for the Arts building (which has also had different names over the years).
Land Acknowledgement
Our organization and its work takes place on the ancestral and unceded lands of the lower Tanana Dene Peoples. We acknowledge this with gratitude for the Indigenous communities who have held relationship with this land for generations. We acknowledge this as a point of reflection as we engage in work that seeks to create healthier communities in and through the arts.
