It operates the Juneau Arts and Culture Center and Centennial Hall under agreements with the local government, with the aim of fostering a vibrant arts and cultural environment and supporting the local economy. The council emphasizes creating inclusive opportunities for creativity and innovation, positioning itself within the nonprofit arts sector as a steward of community culture and public access to cultural programming.
