Organized by the Alaska Humanities Forum, the Alaska State Council on the Arts, the Anchorage Museum, and the Alaska Arts and Culture Foundation, the Governor's Arts & Humanities Awards recognize Alaskans whose noteworthy contributions to the arts and humanities have made a lasting impact on Alaska's social, economic, and civic life.
Since 1968, the Awards have highlighted individuals and organizations that have helped strengthen communities by forging connections between people across race, class, and cultural divides; those that have furthered traditional Alaska Native language or culture; and those that have contributed to a better understanding of the world, one another, and the human experience.

Trend Alaska Fashion Show, Arts Business Leadership
​MoHagani Magnetek, Community
Jim Aqpayuk LaBelle, Education
Melissa Shaginoff, Rising Humanities
