The Alaska Humanities Forum is a non profit organization that designs and facilitates experiences to bridge distance and difference –  programming that shares and preserves the stories of people and places across our vast state, and explores what it means to be Alaskan.

Since its founding in 1972, the Forum has been bringing Alaskans together to think critically and to talk —across perspectives, values, and backgrounds— about things that matter.  The Forum is a nonprofit, non-partisan organization representing and serving Alaska as one of 56 state and territorial councils supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and as a member of the Federation of State Humanities Councils.

The Alaska Humanities Forum is dedicated to strengthening and connecting communities across Alaska. Using the humanities - literature and storytelling, history, art, music, philosophy, our shared cultural heritage - we create the space for Alaskans to share their stories, ideas, and experiences so that they may better understand themselves, one another, and the human experience.

The Alaska Humanities Forum connects Alaskans through stories, ideas, and experiences that positively change lives and empower communities.
