info@ketchikanarts.orgThe Ketchikan Area Arts & Humanities Council is a member-based non-profit organization that has been providing exceptional arts experiences and opportunities since 1953.
OUR MISSION: To create and promote opportunities for all community members to experience the arts.
OUR VISION: The arts improve the quality of life in our community.
The Arts Council strongly believes, and vigorously advocates, that the arts improve the quality of life in our community, not only through the obvious beauty and thought provoking nature of art, but also as an economic engine within our community. Our vision – The arts improve the quality of life in our community – is a statement that is bigger than our organization. It requires us to continually reinvent ourselves to be relevant and creatively cutting edge in order to keep the importance and value of the arts in our community’s consciousness and to help our community thrive.
We rely on YOU to support the arts in your community through your membership, advocacy, and involvement. -
The Ketchikan Community Concert Band meets during the spring and fall semesters, taking the summer off. We rehearse each Monday night from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at The Plaza Mall. There are usually two concerts per year, one in the spring and one just before Christmas. The main outreach program of the KCCB is to support and foster the love of instrumental music in the youth of our community. First, and most obvious, our concerts are free of charge to any young person 18 years of age or under. We hope this will encourage lots of our youth to attend the concerts. Of course, it doesn’t hurt if they bring a parent too! Second, we have approached the community to donate those unused band instruments that may be lurking in the back of a closet. Currently, we have 19 instruments placed in four schools.
