You get a surprising amount of exercise while dancing for an hour and a half PLUS it is HIGHLY likely that you will laugh more than if you go to the gym and lift weights. You don't need to know how to dance to attend!

You don't need a partner to be able to show up. This is a great activity to show up solo to. There are friends waiting for you here!

Calling All Artists!
Our 2024 Artist In Residency Application Is Now Open!

In 2024 we are hosting four resident artists (two in each cohort) during the summer with two residencies from June 5-19 and from July 30 - Aug 13.

We invite applicants with creative and inquisitive minds who will both add to and benefit from the interdisciplinary efforts at our community hub in McCarthy, Alaska and the surrounding Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and Preserve. Artists and writers of all genres and stages in their career are encouraged to apply for one of several two-week residencies. Artists from the global majority, who are underrepresented, marginalized, Alaska Natives, etc. are especially encouraged to apply. The WMC will make selections through a competitive admissions process. We hope to encourage emerging and mid-level career voices as well as mature professionals.

Each week at approximately 8:20 am KRBD hosts the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council for their weekly report on arts and humanities in Ketchikan and the surrounding area. Get a synopsis of the local music scene, performances, Gallery exhibits, pop-ups, and Calls to artists. The Arts Report often features special guests from the Ketchikan Theatre Ballet, Artists, and Curators. Tune in weekly to KRBD 105.3 FM Ketchikan, Metlakatla and Saxman, 107.1 FM North Ketchikan, Ward Cove, and Ketchikan, 101.7: Craig, 90.7: North Point Higgins, 90.1: Mountain Point, Hydaburg, Klawock, and Thorne Bay.
