Dramatically framed by the mountains and the sea, the Capital Civic Center will become the focal point for individual and communal artistic expression in Juneau, Alaska.

Creativity and artistic expression are at the very core of Juneau’s essence. We are an expressive, multifaceted, diverse community, stirred to create and connect through our music, dance, plays, exhibits, stories and art.

The goal of constructing a new Capital Civic Center is to provide Juneau with an inspirational, artistic venue and accessible gathering space. This center will replace the dated Armory building with a much-needed community venue that creates unique value for Juneau’s youth, young families, and diverse communities.

It is a necessary project and cost-effective investment towards Juneau’s successful future. Beyond providing a substantial monetary infusion to the local economy, the Capital Civic Center will help Juneau hold more programs, events, and educational experiences that will allow our entire community to flourish and learn through the arts. Our city deserves a focal point for this artistic expression. We have longed for a physical touchstone for decades, and now, finally, the ideal time to build such a place is here.

The Capital Civic Center will be a “must-see” experience for visitors from around the world – currently one million annually – and a great source of civic pride. The center will dramatically enhance Juneau’s reputation as Alaska’s state capital and premier cultural center. More importantly, it will be the heart and soul of our community, a place for all Juneau’s people to exhibit, perform and share our experiences.
