About the Juneau Arts & Humanities Council Gallery Program
The JAHC Gallery Program supports both established and emerging Alaskan artists showing new works, while representing the broadest spectrum of visual art media.
There are currently two gallery spaces available to artists: the Arts Council Gallery at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center (JACC), the Davis Gallery in Centennial Hall. The mission of the Galleries is to exhibit artwork that promotes cultural awareness, stimulates creativity, or offers educational opportunities for all visitors. We accept new, emerging, and professional artists into this program, with preference given to artists who live and work in Alaska. Artists outside of Alaska are eligible to apply.

Now accepting proposals for the 2025-26 gallery season!
The Juneau Arts & Humanities Council is now accepting exhibition proposals for the upcoming Gallery Season 52 - running October 2025 through September 2026.
Who is Eligible to Apply?
Individuals, groups, and organizations are invited to apply; preference will be given to applicants currently living in Alaska. Artists who have been awarded a solo exhibition in the JAHC Gallery Program should wait two years after the date of their exhibition to apply again.
Selected artists will display their work for the duration of one month at the Juneau Arts & Culture Center (JACC) Gallery with an opening reception during First Friday, or the duration of approximately three months at the Davis Gallery in Centennial Hall, with an opening reception on the First Friday of the artist’s choice.
What Type of Artwork Can I Submit in a Proposal?
The Juneau Arts & Humanities Council welcomes original artwork in any 2D or 3D media created within the last three years and not previously exhibited in Juneau. Artwork should not violate city, state, or federal laws, or endanger viewers. Applicants who propose to exhibit all new works are encouraged to provide a sample of current work, sketches, drafts, and/or photographs that best illustrate the proposal.
Deadline to Apply & Season Announcement
The deadline to submit proposals is May 15, 2025 by 11:59 pm Alaska Standard Time. All proposals will be reviewed and selected by the JAHC Board Gallery Committee, artists will be notified of decisions, and the 2025-26 Gallery Season will be announced at the end of June 2025.
The JAHC Board Gallery Committee includes members of the JAHC Board of Trustees, the JAHC Gallery Manager, and community liaisons who may be local artists, educators, arts and nonprofit affiliates, gallery or museum professionals, or cultural advocates.
