In-Person Event

Join us Saturday, June 17, as we recognize Juneteenth (June 19), the day commemorating of the ending of slavery in the United States. Visit these exhibitions:

Black in Alaska is a multimedia project with interviews, photos and short videos profiling 50 Black Alaskans. Participants are from all over the state and represent diverse backgrounds in age, gender, and socioeconomic status. Through storytelling, this project aims to dismantle stereotypes and create a deeper connection between communities. Now on view in the first floor atrium.

To Hear the Earth Before the End of the World is a sound-based project by artist LaMont Hamilton. Drawing on years of research and travel around the world to gain what he calls "a ground-zero understanding of our changing Earth,” Hamilton spent time listening to glaciers cracking, smelling forest fires, and immersing himself in the mechanical cacophony of land being razed. Now on view in the Brian E. Davies Chugach Gallery on the fourth floor.
