Juneau Arts & Culture
A vibrant scene fit for the Last Frontier
No one tells a story quite like an Alaskan - and Juneau's artists tell compelling stories in so many ways. Juneau ranks 8th on the list of the most arts-vibrant communities in the US by SMU Data Art' Arts Vibrancy Rating 2023. Locals and visitors alike flock to professional theater productions, operas, symphony concerts, the annual Jazz and Classic Festival, art gallery exhibits, and a week-long Alaska Folk Festival each year.
Walk the streets of Historic Downtown Juneau and stop in one of the many artist galleries and studios. The Juneau Events Calendar is your must-have resource for performances of all kinds while you're in town. Of course nothing rounds out your tour of the Juneau arts scene quite like the variety of historic sites and museums as well.
Art Galleries
From paintings and sculptures to comic books and hand lettering, local artists display their creative ingenuity that is as wild and inspiring as any Alaskan scene.
Artist Studios
Stop by one of these small creative spaces for a one-of-a-kind visit. There's nothing like getting to know a piece of work like speaking to the mind behind the design.
Performing Groups
Annual music festivals and season performances are an experience not to be missed in Juneau. Alaska's capital boasts it's own symphony, spoken word performances, live theatre, and lyric opera.
