Tickets for Rock Aak’w are on sale NOW! Don’t miss out on seeing some of the big names in Indigenous music. Link is in our bio to buy tickets!
As a reminder, Rock Aak'w tickets are set at a pay-what-you-can scale. We want everyone to be able to see these artists perform. We also want the artists to be compensated what they’re worth so they’re encouraged to perform at future Rock Aak’w festivals. If buying the ticket at full-price is not something you can financially do, there are other options so you are still able to attend. The true value of tickets is about $100. Your true-cost purchase, above $1, makes the festival accessible to more people. Gunalchéesh for your support!
Rock Aak’w is co-sponsored by the @juneau_arts_council, the @neaarts, @tlingithaida, @alaskaair, @ktoopubmedia, @kinyradio, @sealaska and @shinstitute.

Currently on exhibit at the Davis Gallery: Alaska Ability Art 🎨 featuring mixed media works and merchandise by Sabrina Richmond and Niall Johnson.
Sabrina is known for her drawings of flowers and recently has been learning to draw other subjects such as mountains and animals. She typically uses ink, micro pens, and acrylic paint. Niall is known for his drawings of mountains but lately has been enjoying creating monsters. He prefers using inks out of all the other supplies he's tried since he began creating art in 2008.
In addition to the mixed media works, the artists have mugs, earrings, reusable bags, barrettes, and masks for sale. Their work will be on exhibit through December 2021, with an artists' reception during Gallery Walk.
Visit the gallery Tuesday through Friday during our regular business hours (10 am-4 pm). Head through the dirt courtyard at Centennial Hall and ring the doorbell next to the business office door.
BONUS! If you are attending the vaccine clinics over the next few weekends, make sure to swing by and take a look at the show.
