About
The Ketchikan Area Arts & Humanities Council (KAAHC) preserves and amplifies the creative life of Ketchikan from its downtown home at 330 Main Street. For more than fifty years KAAHC has anchored year-round exhibition and performance space at the Main Street Gallery, produced signature festivals and community art walks, run life-long learning programs, and served as an incubator and fiscal sponsor for smaller arts initiatives. KAAHC launched two newly developed initiatives in 2025—Island Music, a regional chamber/residency educational music series, and [INSERT ART], an immersive incubator for emerging local artists—as a strategic expansion that extends Ketchikan’s cultural reach and deepens participation across demographics and geographies.
How Pick.Click.Give. makes a difference
Donations to the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council (KAAHC) through Pick.Click.Give., help to support the many programs and events of Ketchikan’s local non-profit Arts and Humanities Council. KAAHC’s mission to create and promote artistic experiences and the exploration of the humanities includes advocacy, education, creation, promotion, mentoring and sometimes just getting out of the way and letting Ketchikan’s inherently creative spirit blossom!Annual programming such as the Blueberry Arts Festival, the Winter Arts Faire, the Main Street Gallery and three annual city-wide Art Walks feature the fine artists of our community, and also serve as incubators for small businesses, providing artists the opportunity to experiment with their artistic product, pricing, inventory and marketing. Ketchikan’s annual Wearable Art Show, a program of KAAHC, is an example of the arts and artists of Ketchikan blossoming. The event is a community favorite which began in 1987 and has been growing ever since. Ketchikan’s Wearable artists continue to raise the bar for each other and artists across the state! In 2022 we created a Youth Wearable Art Show for Ketchikan's young Wearable artists.
Thank you for your support of the Ketchikan Area Arts and Humanities Council and the arts in Ketchikan!!!
