About this organization
Mission
The mission of the Alaska Humanities Forum is to connect Alaskans through stories, ideas, and experiences that positively change lives and empower communities. Our vision is a culturally diverse, economically vibrant, and equitable Alaska where people are engaged, informed, and connected.
About
Humanities Council: Humanities programs encompassed a wide range of humanities topics including arts, a leadership program, Alaskan history, and the annual Governor's Awards for the Arts and Humanities. These programs help pass on the values, methods, and wisdom of the humanities to future generations. The Alaska Humanities Forum issued grants to individuals and small organizations, which funded humanities-based projects in small communities across the state. Projects cultivate enjoyment of the humanities in disciplines such as cultural studies, archaeology, ethics, philosophy, history, linguistics, folklore, languages, theatrical arts, and film.
